Christmas dinner is many people's favourite part about December 25, and it's clear to see why. From lashings of gravy, to delightful tender turkey - when it's cooked to perfection, there's nothing quite like it. But sometimes, on the big day, you don't want to cook, so you and the family might go out to enjoy a decadent dinner in a restaurant. But if you did that, what would your budget be?

Chef Tom Kerridge is going to be cooking up a storm for his Christmas Day menu at Kerridge's Bar & Grill, a "festive feast" if you will, but it'll set you back a whopping £275. But unlike Gordon Ramsay's offering, it actually promises turkey.

Tom Kerridge, alongside Head Chef Nick Beardshaw, "can't wait to make those moments extra special, with our heartfelt food at the center of everything we do" - and it would have to be something ultra divine to justify the hefty price tag. So, what's on the menu?

The festive seven-course offering kicks off with "canapés and champagne", the perfect palate cleanser. Then, once you're settled in properly, "game terrine with fig and cherry chutney, grilled sourdough, and black truffle butter" will be served to you.

Course three will consist of "cornish crab cake with brown butter chowder, celeriac, and roasted chestnut remoulade", and course four is where the real Christmas magic happens, promising "roasted free range copas bronze turkey with sage and apricot stuffing, sourdough bread sauce, pigs in blankets, roast potatoes, and seasonal vegetables OR roasted fillet of Aberdeen Angus beef, stuffed Yorkshire pudding, roast potatoes, horseradish cream, and seasonal vegetables." Our mouths are watering.

'I don't want children staying up late at weekends - I really need adult time'

For dessert, it'll be "Kerridge's Christmas pudding with brandy sauce and clotted cream ice cream", then course six will consist of "truffle baked tunworth for the table, with pickles, crackers, and chutney."

Then last, but by no means least, the delightful meal will end with "coffee and mince pies" for a real festive feel. Hopefully, after the seven courses that will set a family of four back £1,100, you'll be feeling nice and full.
