Christmas Dinner and all the Trimmings

[thankulotto]

Hi, this year my Husband and I are going to try dinning out for Christmas Dinner. Please does anyone have any kind suggestions. We are very new to the area...

Thank you in advance

We've tried this year...But found all the local restaurants & pubs ( & there is only a few ) that are doing lunch are fully booked, apart, from The crown and greyhound who still have a sitting available at 12-12.30pm when i checked on thursday ( far too early for us ) & they want the ?65 it costs paid up front BTW. I think the plough are doing lunch, and it seems by looking at the website it is part of the same chain as the C&G but with a cheaper menu at ?50, didn't try them as not had great dining experiences there in the past.

Good luck with your search :)

I saw the menu at the Brockwell lido cafe, and it looked excellent, but I'm not sure it's booked up or not!

Cafe Rouge?

My friend was talking about doing the same and we thought the Herne on Forest Hill Road - she was there on Saturday and had a great dinner. Maybe try them? good luck! :)

The Old Nun's Head are advertising two sittings on Christmas Day, but no idea whether they are fully booked yet.

I've always found their food to be very good, especially the roasts :)

The herne has a terrible hygeine rating of 1 star!!

And you KNOW that's qualatively bad right? Because you know the criteria? Right?

So where are you going?!

[sglanzer]

Probably much too late, we've realised we are doing far too much catering over the Christmas period, and would rather like to go out on the 25th. Anyone aware of anywhere that might still have a table for a nice Christmas lunch?

The Old Nunshead have space I believe.

Ended up going to le Chardon on Christmas day, and had a lovely time, food was nice and the staff were very festive, one to recommend for next year, We had the earlier sitting of 12.30. A lot cheaper then some others who quoted and took a ?20 deposit ( rather that then the ?65 up front asked by the crown and greyhound )

If we are not going away or decide we ca't be assed to cook next year, might go again :)

[thankulotto]

We second all of that. Lovely time, food and staff great. If you contemplate dinning out for Christmas Dinner next year this is one to consider.

We went to Porcini on Croxted Road - no sittings, you keep your table no matter what time you get there for your "dinning"....
