Choose where to go for the Christmas do

Start early

Popular places fill up for December, especially Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays. Settle the date first, then vote on the venue so you can book while there’s availability.

Many restaurants offer set Christmas menus for groups, and some ask for a deposit or pre-order. It’s worth checking before you shortlist.

Making the shortlist

Include a mix of prices so nobody feels priced out.

Check each place can take your group size on your date.

Let people add a place of their own if they’ve got a favourite. Each voter can add up to two.

Then lock it in

Give the group a deadline, lock in the winner and send it to the chat. Then book straight away, before someone else gets your table.
