As a group, me and my friends from school try to get together as much as we can (which proves more difficult as the years go by! Damn adulting) we often get together for birthdays and other such occasions and for the last few years I’ve organised something to get us altogether at Christmas too.
We’ve done Secret Santa to death now amongst us all, we have done a festive party at mine and Tim’s a few years in a row now too so we needed something different this year.
In the end we opted for a nice and easy festive meal out together at a restaurant.
We went to a local restaurant called ‘The Oyster Reach’ which is part of the Beefeater chain.
Christmas themed party wear/jumpers was the dress code.
They had both a set and festive menu to choose from and I think we all went for a mixture in the end.
Most of us enjoyed three yummy courses. I went for Calamari to start, my favourite starter.
The festive burger for my main, which alot of us chose.
It was probably the most juicy burger I have had in a while, very tasty.
& I couldn’t resist a cheeky side of pigs in blankets! Well it was a Christmas meal after all.
For dessert I had this delicious chocolate orange melting pudding. Chocolate orange is my favourite flavour combo, heaven.
It was great to get together, catch up and just have a laugh and some yummy food.
The perfect way to spend time together at this time of year.
How do you like to celebrate at this time of year?
Until next time,
Roseanne 🙂
