Work Dinner

[SpanielOnTheSofa]

Right (dons hard hat)

Under the new regs, is there any way for 10+ of us to have a dinner and drinks in Tier 2?

We are in a bubble and all have to have regular tests.

What I don't want is a quick (substantial) meal and not to be allowed a semi-relaxed evening with hopefully many drinks. Whilst alcohol would be involved, it would be principally work-related.

Anyone got an idea?

Have a 'staff meeting' at work?

I should have also said order in the food

Well you won't be able to go out anywhere, you have to be in the same household and they will ask you .

Order food into work? I think that's the only way.

Uber eats and 25% off six bottles of wine at Sainsbury's are your best options.

Yep I was going to say the same as everyone else. Order in to eat at your place of work. Not ideal but the only loophole.

Nope .
I concur with the other posters , order in at work

Not in any restaurant and pub. Only if you have things delivered to your place of work.

You could decide not to hold an event- have you any idea how the other people feel about this? Not having one may spare anxiety for those who will be spending Christmas with older relatives.

It's bending (breaking) the rules, do you know how your staff feel about this? Aren't people trying to limit extra contact with people / stay safe and keep family members safe at Christmas? Socialising with colleagues would not be my priority.

Why not put off your staff party until the summer and have a boozy BBQ.

Hi Op how do your rest of work colleagues about the idea of a upcoming works do event then?(does everybody feel Cormfotable with this idea then?

If they are cormfortable have a socially distanced Xmas at work or if its a nice day weather wise,why not have a socially distanced picnic somewhere outdoors, somewhere nice??

Or wait until next year, have a big bash like a summer barbeque idea then???

Team meeting with food and drink ordered in I think would be technically legal. Anything else is breaking the rules, and even this is bending them over backwards.

If it’s anything like my workplace alcohol on the premises is an absolute no.
