Me, my OH, parents and possibly other family members (it's a long story) are going out for Christmas Day Dinner.

Can anyone recommend somewhere in our area that we aren't gonna have to sell all our worldly possessions to afford?

    I'm an East Durham yakka I'm afraid, so we'd still need a translator if we spoke in real life ;)

    most local bars do Christmas dinner if you don't want to sell body parts to pay for it....if you don't mind selling body parts you could go somewhere swanky like the copthorne on the quay, lol.
    If my typing is pants or I seem partcuarly blunt, please excuse me, it physically hurts to type. :wall: If I seem a bit random and don't make a lot of sense, it may have something to do with the voice recognition software that I'm using!

    Toby Carvery at Kingston Park is dishing up Christmas Day and Luma in Sunderland - four courses £35 plus champers reception.

    Thought I'd let you lot know in case anyone else is eating out this Xmas.
