Hideout Christmas programme

The Hideout Christmas Dinner menu is a full four-courser with all the trimmings for 28 euros a head. And mine host Martin Myles is organising special nights on December 18, 23, 24 and New Year's Eve. That last is a 40 euros a head gala that includes a mulled wine start and champagne to toast in 2007.

By then, of course, 15 lucky customers will have collected their winnings in the annual Christmas Draw, which this year has a top prize of 2006 euros. Other key prizes include a traditional hamper, a giant teddy bear with a hundred euros to spend clutched in its little fist, healthy living hamper, and lots of wine and other stuff.

Get along there and get your ticket bought quick.
