The start of the Christmas party season 2010

Tis the season!

Today was my first Christmas party celebration for the season. Our work do was lunch at one of local pubs, the Dove. I haven’t been to the Dove in years but its location by the river ensures it is popular year round. I was fascinated to see that they even allowed pets inside. So cute!

The Dove is very intimate and cosy inside. A few other departments were having their Christmas lunch today too but we were by far the biggest group. I was very surprised that the Dove did really well with our food – no big mistakes were made and they even showed some flexibility with some of the dishes to suit people’s diets. There was some ordering in advance but that couldn’t prevent last minute changes which included people arriving late!

I was very impressed with all the food that we had. Tasted really good and was extremely filling. We had a great lunch and then headed over to the Ruby Grand for the rest of the night.

Not many photos as I’m still too new to work to reveal my true paparazzi side. Heh heh.
