Berks / Oxon Area Christmas Meal Ideas

[Lou-Lou]

I know it's still horribly early.. but..

This year I was thinking of sorting out a night out in Reading for this :nod:

A meal somewhere in town, followed by a few drinks for those that want to carry on :)


If anyone has any ideas of any thing specific they'd like to do, let me know here :)

Sounds good. :)

We'll have a look round town at the weekend and see what we can come up with :)

See if they have any really good deals on which include free alcohol. :)

Anywhere where you get free stuff is usually peasant spec :wack:

Not necessarily.. the Prezzo deal with a glass of wine was pretty good.

Doubt those sorts of things will be available for Xmas bookings though.. but we'll see :)

I have to go into town on Saturday morning so I'll have a scout about and see what options we have :)
