Good news for me, of sorts. My operation, which would have prevented my coming, has been brought forward to this Friday as there's been a cancellation, so fingers crossed I should be able to come now.
It all depends what people want. There's a few Harvester's in the area. Alternatively there's The Fort Jester we could go to. The Black Boy is a really nice pub but they don't seem to have a Christmas Menu on if people were wanting that.
