What to Check Before Reserving
Before paying for a Christmas buffet, confirm exactly which date and meal period your reservation covers.
Ask whether the quoted price is nett or subject to additional service charges and taxes. Also confirm the children’s rate, age restrictions, seating time, reservation deposit, cancellation conditions, and whether drinks are included.
Regular dining discounts may also be excluded during Christmas, so don’t assume a normal buffet promotion applies on December 24 or 25.
Holiday buffet reservations can sell out, especially for Christmas Eve, so reserve early once your family has chosen a venue.
