CaptainSplod Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 (edited) Hi Guys, It's almost "that" time of the year again - and we're looking forward to coming to CM this year for a Christmas Buffet - or even a Fixed Christmas meal (Lunch- or Dinnertime events). I guess others here would also be very interested to know anything about any Xmas Buffets or (Fixed) meals, For example: - where, - what date interval (if any), - Lunch and/or Dinner, - time allotments (if any), - booking procedure and - cost per person. Naturally, a link to the hotel/restaurant website would save listing much of the above. Thanks - and have a Very Merry one, too !! ⛄⛄⛄⛄ Edited November 15, 2022 by CaptainSplod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HungDonger Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 You are a bit early. Lots of Hotels and Restaurants providing Christmas Dinners/Lunches but they usually start advertising around the start of December. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pgrahmm Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 The Duke's will serve Christmas meals, however, it's being served family style...One & done I prefer buffet style to select the items & portions I want to eat.... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainSplod Posted November 16, 2022 Author Share Posted November 16, 2022 Heh! Yeah, early perhaps - but better to be early than to be too late. It maybe gives folks some time and a chance to "notice" any good arrangements and post them here. ---------------------------------------- Agree - an Xmas buffet is preferable - but not always available. Thanks - Duke's is a start, at least. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotta try it just once, at least. ???????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw the photos the reviewer posted and they looked OK. All he had to do was ask for a second portion. I guess he is used to buffet eating, with the plate overloaded, rather than having food well-presented where you can appreciate each item. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have stayed at this and I doubt the management understands what Thanksgiving really is: To eat a like a pig . Their food is allegedly “high quality and small portions”. This does not work for Thanksgiving. I spoke to the dining manager and I believe he is German. Possibly Christmas Dinner will be different. But I would never go back there for any reason.

But I would never go back there for any reason. Is there some reason you can't request a second serving? Also criticism that they weren't carving the second turkey was unfounded, implying it was "just for show". There was meat remaining from the first turkey. Give 'em a break. We've dined at Le Meridien when they've had a "pasta station" and the portions are small. No problem, go back and get another. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaptainSplod Posted December 3, 2022 Author Share Posted December 3, 2022 Hmmm...things is hotting up! ???? I also have a place of interest (maybe) - Duangtawan Hotel, which has both an Xmas Buffet and a Dinner, too. Look on their Facebook page for more details. The Wild Hog (Hang Dong area) looks very interesting, so many thanks for that tip. I don't think the Duke's would suit us this time around, but thanks, anyway. Keep 'em coming! ???? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
