Golly Gee! -- Christmas Dinner at the G Hotel

Orange Cheesecake
   Oh, wretched excess!  When we started to roast our turkey last weekend, the oven shorted out and blacked out the whole apartment.  That electrical crisis gave us a great excuse to go out to the nearby G Hotel for their Christmas buffet dinner.  And what a feast that was!  

Authentic Yule Log -- My favorite!

                             Mini-mince Pies    


  It was a pleasure to go to that particular hotel because Hubby and I had had month-long stays there for the past several years for his work.  So, the dining room staff  remembered us and welcomed us warmly. They also made sure the sparkling wine was constantly topped up.  Thanks for that!


       The spread laid on by the dining room staff was truly superb!  We're still talking about it (and groaning from stuffed tummies.)


Seafood -- Duh!
    
 Most of the pictures here of the desserts because they were so cute and charming.  But truly, everything was marvelous.  There was terrific turkey, four kinds of stuffing, carved roast beef, sushi and sashimi, roast potatoes that were super-delicious, and seafood in vast amounts. 


A Very Talented Balloon Artiste!
    There were chocolate fountains, kebabs, and a vast assortment of food of all sorts.  Each table had Xmas crackers, party hats, noisemakers and all the other stuff that British people have on their Xmas tables.  A balloon man went around entertaining the many kids at the tables.  


     Best of all, we're members of the G4U Club, so we got a sizable discount on this lovely festive meal! 


 Sure beats slaving in a hot kitchen all day!
