After a tough Christmas in lockdown, people are hopefully, ready to go all out this year.
With a need for endless portions of turkey, roast tatties and all the trimmings, you'll want your money to go as far as it can.
As such, Finance experts at PayDayLoansNet have trawled TripAdvisor and found and analysed the UK pubs/restaurants with the most Christmas Day dinner reviews.
Using a scoring system based on metrics such as choice of meats, veggie options and the crucial availability of Christmas crackers, PayDayLoansNet has put each restaurant to the ultimate festive test to crown the UK’s best value Christmas Day dinner - and shared the results.
One Scottish restaurant made it into the UK-wide survey, with Howies Waterloo Place in Edinburgh coming eighth on the shortlist.
Located within a beautiful Georgian building, family-owned Howies can be found at the foot of Calton Hill in the capital and is known for its popular menu of seasonal dishes created using sustainably sourced, local ingredients.
This festive season they are offering delicious dishes like Scottish game and smoked ham terrine, Roast haunch of Wild Glen Lyon venison, Shetland Salmon and of course, a selection of Iain J Mellis farmhouse cheeses with oatcakes.
A post on their website reads: "We have lots of ideas up our sleeves this Christmas and we’ll work with you to create the perfect celebration."
The best value Christmas day dinner overall is served at The Chequered Skipper in Peterborough with an overall score of 100. The dinner includes a grazing board of locally sourced beef, turkey breast, confit pork belly & lamb leg.
Yorkshire puddings with goose fat roasted potatoes, pigs in blankets, homemade stuffing & gravy, presented with tender stem broccoli, as well as vegetarian options. The dinner is home-cooked, with plenty of children's options and not to forget Christmas crackers on the table.
