It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas and it’s not even December yet. That means another three weeks of Christmas ads on the telly, worrying about what present to get your next door neighbour and eating so many mince pies you won’t be able to look at another one by the time the big day comes around.

Love it or hate it, the works do is an important part of the festive season. It’s the perfect opportunity to get up to all kinds of mischief and indulge in the kind of behaviour you will no doubt regret the following day without having to worry about getting sacked because you’ve got the perfect excuse – it was the office Christmas party.

If you – or your boss – haven’t booked your works do yet, it’s probably about time you at least started thinking about it. Whether it’s Christmas lunch, dinner or a proper bash, here are some places to consider…
