It ain't toppy
per se, just a bit toppy for what is, essentially, a roast dinner with a bit of afters.

And I bet they load up the plate with fecking sprouts.
There will be four of us that I'll be paying for (although we're in a group of ten in total), so including drinks, I reckon I'll be looking at just shy of a bag of sand.
That's almost a monkey worth of booze to make it up to a grand, I like a tipple over lunch occasionally but £500 on drinks at lunch time would make me wince.
Easy done. Remember, it ain't a normal lunch, it's a
Christmas lunch and therefore will be mightily boozy.
Bottle of decent fizz 'cause it's Christmas: £70 - £100 (what's that, 4 glasses?)
A G&T whilst we get settled? - Tenner a pop, so £20 -£40, depending on who imbibes.
Bottle of decent red: £50 - £80 (I'll do that on my own, without the aid of a safety net)
Bottle of decent white: £50 (Mrs. Gremlin will Houdini that away live-o)
Gremlinette and her friend don't drink wine, so a few cocktails between them at a tenner a pop - £60
I like an after dinner drink or three - tenner a pop? £30
Mrs - Gremlin may like a port or two - tenner a pop? £20
Between four adults? Soon mounts up...
I mean, I could rein it in a bit, but I know I won't.
