If you’re looking for a more affordable option for your Christmas dinner, search for venues that operate on a minimum spend basis. With this option, you don’t have to pay a hire fee but agree to spend a set amount on food and drinks. If you’re organising a Christmas dinner for a smaller group, renting a private dining room rather than a whole venue may be a more affordable option. You can also look for venues that offer special Christmas package deals.
Dublin offers a vast range of venues and you are sure to find one that will suit your taste. If you’re a fan of historic venues, but like the comfort of the modern conveniences, Clayton Hotel Ballsbridge offers a perfect combination of the two. Another historic venue, but one that is also uniquely Irish, would be the Irish Whiskey Museum, Here you will be able to not only dine well but also enjoy the best drink that Ireland has to offer. If you would like to try something different for your Christmas dinner, try Zambrero, where the culinary experience will let you venture to Central America.
