When we retired I missed going out for a Christmas meal with work colleagues so I began our own Firm's Christmas Meal (the Firm being DH and I) so I have booked this year's meal in the time honoured tradition of planning ahead at Jamie's Italian Nottingham one Sunday before Xmas (we like lunch) if anyone would like to join us that would be good.
I was looking at the Christmas Menu at Jamies in Liverpool and it looks delicious they certainly do go that extra mile when catering for everyones dietary needs,the restaurant was very busy when we where in Town and we couldn't get a table unless we had reserved one and they where taking booking for pre Christmas meals also.
Jamie's restaurants are so obliging. They cook everything from fresh so if you want to for example have an ingredient left out they will do that for you. They notice if you are not enjoying a meal (this has happened to me twice) and change it or take it off the bill. the only down side is that I find their drinks expensive but you can always hold back on the booze and the food is the thing really.
Oh I should have said if you send for a Gold Card (membership its free) from their website you get a little treat say a taster/mini starter for all your party not just yourself (in July it was a Bellini). You also get priority booking and some other treats like a goody bag at Xmas - small but appreciated gestures.
Now that some are talking about wrapping paper and presents, etc- I am so sorry, but just will have to keep out. The sun is shining, it is lovely and warm, the swallows are still darting in and out of the barn- so NO, NO C word here, please.
