Christmas Eve dinner in the UK

10 Nov 2008 / #1

Does anybody know of Polish restaurants around Oxfordshire/Berkshire which might be open for a Christmas Eve dinner? London is not an option I'm afraid... Thanks for any info!

I might just hijack this thread for my own evil purposes. Partly because answers to bluemisiu's question seem not to be forthcoming, partly the title is actually relevant to what I want to talk about, but mostly because I am evil.

I have been invited to a Polish workmate's house on Christmas Eve. I gather that Christmas Eve is the bigger day for festivities amongst Poles rather than Christmas Day itself. I have been promised vodka. If anyone knows the hand-to-the-throat drinking gesture... well, when the word "drink" was mentioned, that hand gesture to accompany it looked pretty flipping serious, with tensed muscles and gritted teeth., so my question is...

will I make it as far as Christmas Day?

Is it considered rude to bring anything with me (other than one or two Christmas gifts)? I mean, they're not expecting me to supply a carp or a swan or anything, are they?
