Our lot are going to a 'Trad' pub for Boxing Day. It usually does a good carvery during the week, so we have high hopes. We are also supposed to be treated to starter, main, dessert, coffee and a nibbles board. If it doesn't match up they will definitely know: we are Yorkshire after all.
I was really looking forward to my mince pie too (and John's because he doesn't like them).
That should be fine Frank, they obviously specialise in doing a roast so I'm sure it'll be good.
Trust me, this place would've known had we been paying the bill!
They usually book a party night somewhere but with being so busy this year no one gave it a thought until it was too late.
Just to give you an idea of the kind of restaurant we were at, one of the secretaries and her husband were seated opposite us and one had ordered a steak while the other had beef Wellington. Both came with mash. The mash was contained within a paper parcel tied with string
