Christmas dinner for 2.

[Pasithea]

Ok husbands kids not coming til Boxing Day, not a problem. We can have dinner out.

Nowhere accepts a booking for a table for two on Christmas Day. Ok will look on marks and spencer and waitrose sites for really nice scrummy not too much trouble food for Christmas dinner.

Mmmmm everything serves at least 6 people. We would be eating it for weeks. Does no one cater for couples or small families at Christmas. I'm not spending 50 quid on a naice ham or turkey. Just for it to go to waste. Or for the trays of prepared veg that you can't reheat after cooking once .

[fhmmm]

We've eaten out for christmas lunch, just the 2 of us, every year for the last eleven years.

The problem isn't that restaurants won't take bookings for 2, the problem is that you've left booking too late, so a lot of the restaurants will already have booked up all of their tables for 2. The fact that they can still take bookings for larger numbers is irrelevant, those will be their bigger tables!
