CorkerSWFC Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 It's the first time that we have been out this year for our dinner and what a change it made, no dishes, drinks on tap, great atmosphere and a general good laugh without all the hassle of cooking at home. Do you go out for your dinner or stay in ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hennypenny Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 We stayed in this year, but it has been very hard work for me now I am doing it on my own. I would definitely consider eating out if I had a recommendation of somewhere good, otherwise I would be worried it wouldn't be as good as at home, and would spoil the day for everyone. Where did you go Corker? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medusa Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 We couldn't afford the cost of going out for dinner, so whether it's great or not would not come into it to be honest. It's very rare to find anywhere that does a dinner on Christmas day for under £50 a head (of decent quality) and that would buy everything needed for dinner for several people and leave us with leftovers that would feed us for the rest of the week.

Where did you go Corker? We went to the fairways where Birly golf course is, it was a carvery but a lot nicer than usual, sprouts parsnips the lot lol. 3 course meal 30 quid a head, can't fault it.

My very generous and brilliant dad paid for 12 of us to go, we wouldn't have been able to go out otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True. All the work isn't fun, but the leftovers are wonderful. I'll think about that when I'm wrestling a 12 lb. ham out of the oven. Usually we all get together, chip in and share, but everyone is scattered this year and no one in my house shows any interest in cooking. They all like to eat, though.
