Full of adverts for diñner venues. Would they need to be booked so early?

Oh, thanks for that, Chico. I thought that the tilde was just a dirty mark on my screen and I've spent the last 30 minutes trying to wipe it clean!

The top London restaurants (and some 'celebrity chef' places) can be booked up well over a year in advance. Even some pubs (with a good reputation locally for the quality of their food) can be hard to book for Christmas at this time of the year.
However 'diñner venues' (with that curious tilde) presumably serve paella on Christmas Day anyway ;-)

Can I make a suggestion?
In the week before Christmas, I used to have a monumental staff booze up in the office for all comers - staff, customers , suppliers and friends (I would go home drunk with a load of unclaimed stinking pheasant from our shoot)
After Christmas, I organised the real Christmas do. The restaurants weren't packed out, and they were so glad to see us, we got good rates too. And no flaming cardboard turkey to be seen!
Wives had got the Christmas effort over, and were relaxed.
The first time I did it, there were rumblings, but ever after, so many people thanked me for the inspiration.
Give it a try....

From what I can gather, Xmas lunch is very expensive in a Pub or restaurant, and anyway, if you have a family to spend it with, why go out ?
Most years, I am invited to my brothers house for the day, and I wouldn't miss my sister-in-laws cooking for any posh restaurant !
But I do wonder how people who are completely alone in the world manage on Xmas Day......can't be very nice for them.
