Was wondering how much would you pay for a 3 course meal in your area in an "average" (a very good venue for your area, but not too fancy) restaurant with some form of local entertainment? |

"Christmas lunch in York at a decent venue would probably be about £80-£100, which is why I don't go out for Christmas lunch in York.  "
How many courses is that? Any entertainment involved? Think I've be swindled a bit, but its no where near that |

"To be honest cost isn't as important as the company...I would be happy with chips n gravy as long as I had the right company."
You won't be saying that if you broke the bank, lol. I do agree though as I say "if he company is right, it doesn't matter where you are".

3 or 4 courses. The entertainment would depend on the venue, but as I don't do it I wouldn't know. |

"how much have you been charged?
places round here are upwards of £50 per head but i'd never go out for Christmas dinner"
£35. That's 3 courses on the menu, but looks like I am only having 2. So I will be querying that. However the best place in my area is offering half that. But an extra £10 with entertainment, which is still only £25. Second poshest place In my area I am going to and the first one only charges £18 without entertainment and about £25 with  . |

I'm not being funny but if your managing to book only three weeks in advance and at that price I wouldn't expect much. Most places are booked out by august

Going out 2 weeks before Xmas for a "party", which includes a 3 course dinner. £35 is for food and entertainment. Suppose I should have posted this in the Wales forum as the cost of living is far higher in the bigger cities as apposed to a small town. |

And you think you've been done?? Crikey, where are you looking? You dont live that far from me and good places round Aberystwyth would charge anything from £50 upwards for lunch on Xmas day. I dont think thats expensive at all |

"Do you mean a meal on Christmas day itself or a works do?
Works do.
£30 for a decent meal. I think £35 including entertainment isn't too bad. "
Well I am looking at it as one course is going to be cut as I don't like it. Secondly I know people going to posher places and paying less by about half. |

set menus dont work like that, you book a place they buy the stuff in regardless of if you eat it or not.
if you think its to expensive do you have to go or have you paid upfront? |

Paid upfront. I know the food they serve is nice and I know the company will be spot on. Never been out to a do where you pay upfront. Just wondered what I have let myself in for. I have until tomorrow to decide what courses I would like as I was told the choices and I liked the starter and main course. Will know more this weekend when I am out for the rugby. I want to go as when I went to these sort of do's in the past. It really puts me in the Xmas spirit. When I do nothing. It doesn't seem the same. Hence why I am going. |

I don't think ours include complimentary drinks though or buffet. All I know is if they reduce it because of not having a dessert and the food is up to its normal standard. It will be both it. |

Biggest problem of mine. I tend to focus on what others near me have and wonder why I don't have it. Even when I try harder. When I should be focusing on the here and now. I will enjoy when that day arrives. Don't you worry  |
