Tis almost the season to eat, drink and be merry. In other words – it’s Christmas party time.
And that means, if you’re doing the hosting, you’ll be in the early stages of lots of planning. However… there is an alternative. You could, for instance, save yourself the stress by getting someone else to do the food planning, prepping, and cooking this year by booking a Christmas party with an established restaurant or country pub.
Finding guests somewhere to stay for the night can be tricky if you have many guests arriving. That’s where a country inn or hotel is the perfect solution. They can cater for all of your guest’s needs, so you don’t have to get out the airbeds. Make sure you book early to ensure rooms are available for your guests – otherwise, you may have to put your relatives up at home.
And, despite people tightening their belts in other areas, Christmas will be a standout event like usual, according to Speciality Food and Cotswold Fayre.
@SpecialityFood: And yes, Christmas will be a big deal this year. Just ask Laura Strapp, head of buying at Cotswold Fayre. “We are expecting customers to go all out for Christmas this year despite continually seeing the cost of living rising. Where consumers are looking to make cutbacks, we think they will still look to then treat themselves at Christmas and go for all the trimmings.”
Book Christmas at the Wyndham
Here at the Wyndham – a former manor house which became a pub in the mid-19th Century – we have 24 double comfortable and stylish rooms and family suites spread across the main house, lodge and barn. As well as rooms, we have the perfect dining settings for your group. The Lantern Room, for instance, can seat up to 50 guests for a sit-down meal. It’s perfect for Christmas as it’s large enough for a party with dancing, but not too big that you can’t still spend quality time with all your friends and family, which is what Christmas is all about.
All you have to do is welcome your guests and enjoy catching up with everyone you haven’t seen for months. Our professional events team will take over the running of your party, from the cloakroom to dinner and tidying up afterwards. We can organise the music for you too, and any other entertainment you would like to introduce.
If your friends and family are coming from afar, you may want to book the entire venue for several days. With 24 bedrooms, there’s plenty of space for everyone to have their bit of privacy to relax in. The Wyndham’s main building has eight rooms; there are another four rooms in nearby Wyndham Barn and 12 bedrooms at Wyndham Lodge.
