When we arrived the restaurant was empty.
I don't mean a few couples in secluded corners. I mean E.M.P.T.Y.Great start. I love a party with a happy atmosphere.

Next, we are given Christmas set menus.
Okay, fine. Four courses for £35. WHAAAA?!
I booked on the understanding that we would have the Early Bird Special - three courses for £14.95!
We had to eat early because we were going to the panto, and it seemed an excellent deal to fit in with our needs. Instead we're going to be charged £20 more for food we probably won't want. In an empty barn of a place.

We had the a la carte menu, but ordering separately can never work out as cheap as a set menu.
Dana, being both kind and practical starts looking into how we can share dishes.

At this point I realise I have left my camera at the hotel.
My camera. The thing I like to take everywhere, but only really comes into its own WHEN I GO OUT WITH OTHER PEOPLE.

My special night is going down the toilet.
I had to make a conscious decision not to start hating everyone and everthing. I was in Glasgow. I was with Dana and Limey. I was going to see JB no matter what happened. Life was good, it was fine, I'd have to be a spoiled bitch to sulk.

At this point the Manager sent our waitress over to offer us the Early Bird Special after all.
She saw how far in advance we'd booked and so decided to honour the deal, especially as no-one was around to witness it

We still got the festive place-mats and napkins and Christmas Crackers too!

We ordered starters - two Nigiri Sushi and one Spare Ribs (me)
My starter was HUGE. Dani had to help me. I offered some to Limey but I think she declined.
There are photos. On camera phones. Hint hint.
