WHEN party season starts, make sure you're not left outside in the cold. Get your Christmas night out booked in at a place that's always buzzy and busy in December: The Pen and Pencil in the Northern Quarter.
It spends all year serving up fantastic food and quality drinks, and that doesn't change at Christmas. They've put together a number of packages perfect for celebrations with friends from work or friends and family. And because they're nice folks, they'll personalise your package to suit you.
So pre-order your cocktails (we'll have something sparkly and sweet), start choosing your party outfit, and clear all plans for a few days afterwards. It's going to be a big one...
