FestiveFood
our office Christmas party is always great, right? The food arrives just at the right Y point between tipsiness and all-out drunkenness, the staff take your hilarious banter with admirable good humour and, at the end of it all, you're stuffed enough to i make sure that your foolish foray onto the dance floor remains nothing but a hazy dream. And that's before you even consider the tasty turkey, the endlessly flowing , wine and the chance to pucker up with that one you've had your eye on from the IT department.
But for every blinder, there's a year when a last minute decision means soggy sprouts and cold potatoes, and no one wants that for their Christmas event, do they? Although right now December may seem light years away, the hottest venues get booked up incredibly early, so starting your search as soon as possible is vital. But if the thought of trawling through the yellow pages for inspiration fills you with a dread akin to the moment before you open that present from Great Aunt Bessie, then do not fear because help is at hand. In the following pages, you'll find something to suit every taste 2 and desire. It's all you need to make sure that all-important festive event goes off in the : finest style possible.
