techno Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 I think the hotels and restaurants are just getting over Thanksgiving and are getting ready to advertise their Christmas menu which will probably be out early December. Last year went to Buomissimo and it was excellent but its now closed. Waiting to see if Holiday Inn are doing something again this year as an alternative Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gotlost Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 I'll recommend the Dukes with the Christmas atmosphere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thailand Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 Holiday Inn, best value by a mile for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uptheos Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 I would imagine any of the places that gave a good Thanksgiving, will also do a good Christmas dinner (but not all do buffets). Check out the Thanksgiving threads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check out the Thanksgiving threads. The septics might do a good Thanksgiving uptheos but i'm not sure that they could cook a real english xmas dinner .

Ulysses G. Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 The lunch is 1530฿ per head but if you pay before 20th it is 1200฿ per head. The first time I went to Xmas dinner there it was called the Westin Hotel and it cost 500 baht - the regular buffet was 150 - if I remember correctly). At that time, it had amazing Western food that you could not get elsewhere in Chiang Mai. How time flies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMExpat79 Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 My mother in law booked 4 of us in for the Olde Bell - can't recall their price so will have to dig out the menu, thinks its 3 courses - but seemed to have all I want for a british christmas lunch hope they have plenty of classic festive tunes going throughout the day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check out the Thanksgiving threads. The septics might do a good Thanksgiving uptheos but i'm not sure that they could cook a real english xmas dinner . You're probably right mate. I came across this on the net and it's from an American website. It's listed as a "Traditional English Christmas Dinner". I know they have maple syrup on their sausage and bacon with pancakes, but this is a bit much. Brussels with maple syrup???? Smoked Salmon Paté with Melba Toast?? ∞ Traditional Roast Turkey with Herbed Apple Stuffing (Not Herb Alpert & Tijuana Brass)&Pigs in Blankets?? Cranberry Sauce??Bread SauceHomemade Gravy Crunchy Roast PotatoesBrussels Sprouts with Maple Syrup & Toasted Almonds??Roast Parsnips ∞ Christmas PuddingwithBrandy Sauce Christmas Eggnog Edited November 29, 2010 by uptheos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulysses G. Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 It is a website for "gourmet" food. They always feel necessary to innovate. Brussels sprouts with maple syrup does sound disgusting though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brussels sprouts with maple syrup does sound disgusting though. Actually, the menu doesn't sound bad at all until the Brussels part. I can't stand them at the best of times, but I can't imagine them with maple syrup.......how to get them down? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
techno Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 I'll recommend the Dukes with the Christmas atmosphere. Reports on TV indicate that Dukes did not do provide the best of meals on Thanksgiving day. May try Holiday Inn this year depending on price Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My catering consultant, a Ms Mary Poppins, reliably informs me that "a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down", so perhaps the same might apply to Brussels Sprouts too ?

The frogs are correct on one thing, the Brit's have never been known for their culinary delights. I prefer ketchup on my sprouts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey squire, we don't have maple syrup on anything, it's an American website trying to invent a British Xmas dinner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
