Christmas Day lunch in Bristol?

[Thora]

Does anybody know of somewhere nice that does lunch on Christmas day? Don't mind a hotel but would rather not go for a big chain one. I've seen the Avon Gorge hotel does a carvery at £50 a head and a proper meal for £80 a head (Mr. Thora is sucking his teeth at the price so guess that is the limit of our budget) - anywhere similar?

J went somewhere ... well she didn't but her parents did turned out to be a bit of a saga

Have you got a car? Only there are no buses on Christmas Day.

It pisses me off

 

[Thora]

No, not at the moment but hopefully might by Christmas Happy to get a taxi somewhere within Bristol though.

Happy to get a taxi somewhere within Bristol though.

You'd need to check how easy and at what cost that was possible on Christmas Day though.

Not speaking about Bristol specifically cos I've never spent Xmas there, but from my citydwelling experience generally from long-gone Xmases, I suspect you'd have a fair few difficulties.

Hope I'm wrong though. Hope it all works out.

No prob getting a taxi on xmas day, specially as loads of Bristol taxi drivers do not celebrate it.

 

[Geri]

They are happy to charge you double though!

 

[Thora]

Yes, obviously would pay more on Christmas day but that's fair enough.

 

[William of Walworth]

Looks like you'll be sorted then

 

[Thora]

No one's actually suggested somewhere to have Christmas dinner though

 

[Geri]

Wetherspoons?

 

[Thora]

Much as I am a fan of a Wetherspoons roast...

We went to Alveston House Hotel last year and were so impressed that we're going again this year. Previous years we've been to the Four Pillars but, sadly, it's gone downhill. We didn't have any problem getting a taxi, book well in advance to make sure and then phone them a few days before Christmas to ensure they have all the details. Best of luck.
