Christmas holidays aren't relaxing for everyone; some spend days planning and slaving away in the kitchen in an attempt to feed the masses of family.
So this year, how about taking the family for a nice restaurant meal?
There are some excellent deals and meals out there and who can resist the thought that someone else is doing the washing up?
Many shops and restaurants do close to celebrate Christmas and you’ll want to keep that in mind.
It’s best to phone around and find out which restaurants are open on Christmas day.
Reservations are usually mandatory, especially when the main meal is a large lunch and usually with a fixed-price menu.
If you are vegetarian, or have any dietary requirements, make sure to inform the restaurant of this, especially if they have a set menu.
Confirming how many people will be attending is essential when booking your Christmas lunch.
