We have come up with 30 pubs and restaurants you might want to consider – some of them are serving now, while others launch their menus on December 1.
And there is somewhere for everyone – depending on whether you want a traditional turkey with all the trimmings type feast, an afternoon tea or a special treat at your favourite restaurant.
Don’t forget to check with the venue for availability and booking in advance is pretty much the norm.
