The venue is nice at Shipping Forecast - but the food is, erm, rather lacking. On the other hand, I can't really think of another place in the city centre right now where we could have the Christmas meal - unless our usual rat infested haunt re-opens :-)<br>

Edit: I've been a few times to Grilla on Hardman St and it's been very good. They have plenty of space and largish tables in the basement.<br>

Don't know it but I'll look the place up, if it's a restaurant they'll want us to book and pay deposit in advance. That was the problem last year. It becomes £25 per head Christmas menu and I would have to pay the money and then chase people. Not getting into that. Somewhere informal is probably best but I'm open to suggestions.<br>

I tried to do an online booking for the beginning of December, and it seems to work without a deposit. But maybe they haven't updated the website? Alternatively, for a detox style Christmas meal, how about the vegetarian Egg café? :-) Unfortunately they don't serve alcohol - but I suppose it would be possible to move on to some watering hole after the meal? They also have quite a bit of space.<br>
<br>
Just throwing in some alternatives - tell me when I should stop :-)<div class="HOEnZb"><div class="h5"><br>
