As I write this in October, Christmas is just a hazy mirage in the distance - something that doesn't require any thought just yet, but you can see it there looming. Someone however, forgot to tell this to the supermarket executives who decided that mince pies, Christmas trees and tempting chocolate goodies should be lining the shelves three months before Christmas! Three months! Although this may be excessive, one thing about Christmas that does need planning ahead is the all-important Christmas Lunch. If you would like to book into a restaurant around the city, then you need to get in early to get a table at somewhere that you will really enjoy. The following are 15 delicious Christmas Lunch options which range from fine dining to fish & chips - and everything in between!
