New Year's Eve is a magical night, if you choose the right venue. This year, avoid the weeks of head-scratching followed by a last minute panic by booking in somewhere you know will be good.
This is an ideal celebration for families and friends. Excellent food in a landmark building that can't help but feel special
The Hilton Hotel is one place that knows how to do a big occasion. In its Deansgate Suite, they'll be hosting a New Year's Eve event that ticks all the boxes: glittering, glamorous, and with a real sense of excitement.
The night will start at 7.30pm with a sparkling drinks reception where you can mingle with the other revellers and check out the outfits (it's dress to impress so wear your finest).
Then you'll be seated for a decadent four-course dinner prepared by the same team as the hotel’s award winning Podium restaurant.
Head chef David Gale consistently turns out outstanding food, even on the busiest nights of the social calendar.
Expect a fabulous dinner, not conveyor belt-style banqueting. The menu is detailed below.
The atmosphere will be relaxed and sociable, with a big build-up to the chimes at midnight. After you've toasted in the New Year, there'll be more dancing and drinking with a DJ until 1.30am.
This is an ideal celebration for families* and friends. Excellent food in a landmark building that can't help but feel special.
Tickets cost £59 per person including the drinks reception and four course dinner. And Confidential readers receive a free half bottle of wine per person when they book before 14 December 2012.
