The Leopard at Bishops Tachbrook seemed good for many, I recall standing outside in the horizontal sleet there about 3 years ago.......

I know I won't make it - this time of year is a big family event for me and the 'lull' between Xmas and New Year is a traditional time for a gathering at my place for much music (generated by family), eating and drinking! There are birthdays too, so a trip 'down south' would lose more Brownie Points than I'd ever hope to accumulate.

No idea about Christmas yet (and still shocked that shops are stocking Christmas stuff already…), but in principle yes, especially if Leamington/Stoke (or anywhere North of there ) is the chosen location..
