Christmas gatherings...

...and plenty of food.
 
This should have been a much larger gathering but flu/winter colds etc have hit the office...
 ...resulting in just eight of us making it out for our Christmas meal yesterday lunchtime.
We went to "Jimmy's" at the O2 in North Greenwich...
 ...and whilst there were a lot more folk in the restaurant than the last time we visited...
...it wasn't crowded by any means.

We had looked at a number of venues but prices had 'hiked' for the Christmas period - how can any business justify going from £4.95 to £25 just because it is Christmas.

"Jimmy's" is one of those restaurants where you help yourself to whatever you fancy and can eat as much as you like. There was roast turkey/beef, seasonal veggies, Indian dishes, Chinese dishes, Italian and a huge selection of desserts - this meets all the requirements of my team and better yet...the price during the year is £9.95 and over the Christmas period it is £9.95 (this is a lunchtime price - not sure what the evening prices are).

It was a shame that only one of our 'leavers' from earlier in the year was able to join us and even more of a shame that several folk from the office couldn't make it as they had been struck by one or other of the current bugs doing the rounds. Still, we had a lovely time (a couple of hours away from work) and it didn't break the bank........................................................................
