chiltern firehouse
feeling flush? famous celeb hotspot chiltern firehouse is offering a christmas menu for £195 per head, including white truffle starters, lobster and duck liver, organic turkey with all the trimmings and fillet steak so tender you can cut it with a butter knife. throw in their famous crab doughnuts and the chance to spot the a-list, money well spent we think.
