Oh joy!  Squires ... !!    I know its easy to find and everyone knows the place but let's be honest it is getting to be more and more of a dive everytime ya go.  I wonder about the kitchens ...?!?!?!!  Espesh when you look around the rest of the place.   Sorry to put a downer on the proceedings ... can't really suggest anywhere else that would put up with a bunch of bikers!   Will have a think about it over the next few days ... how many roughly did you have last year ? and when you thinking of holding it?

Explain what you looking for, is it lunch or evening? Christmas dinner? Roughly how many (last years numbers will do as a guestimate) covering what area? Its it yorkshire only ... ? (Ie north, douth, west, east riding)
I will come up with sensible suggestions promise x

GBNP Don't stretch yourself to much you have enough to deal with as it is hun                                                                                                                                                                              

Manor Bikers Cafe                                                                                                                                                                             

Great little cafe, but nb 'little'                                                                                                                                                                             

@Brummie-J ... Manor was mentioned last nite at Squires ... gonna check it out at some stage soon!   @JP ... I dont mind it gets me out and keeps me occupied ... I'm Ok thanks for thinking about me   L x                                                                                                                                                                             

Ok, don't laugh at me if this is a silly suggestion -

http://www.eatatthehub.co.uk/

I went there for lunch when on a job. The food was scrummy :)
As its in the office unit at cardale park there's plenty of parking. Just not sure what it will be like if there's snow though...:/
But they do open up for occasions - not sure what they'd charge?
Might be worth checking out if you're that way for lunch? If I get a job that way ill have a chat with them about crimbo time an that...

Or what about The Sun Inn or something? Racking my little tiny brain for suggestions.....

Ok....probably a silly suggestion! Lol                                                                                                                                                                             

Mjn, i thought about sun inn but if weather is bad it will be horrific to get to .. but then again....

Will check out both, probably next week.
