An Indian Chrimbo

Friday night curry, comedy and beers are occurring. But this particular Friday is hosted by Michelin-blessed Hampton Manor, with a menu curated and presented by comedian and restaurateur Hardeep Singh Kohli. Think twisties you'll ultimately try to pass off as your own, like crab and brown shrimp pakora. And Vindaloo — but this one is of the pork belly variety. On liquids, Wine Freedom's Sam Olive is pairing craft beers and natural vin to suit the one-off plates, incepted to celebrate the yuletide. Oh and there's a clove and clementine martini for beginnings. On December 1 at 7pm, including four courses, three mini-courses, drinks and LOLZ, it's £95 if you call for a ticket, or £99 right here, right now. The 18.33 from New Street gets you to Hampton-in-Arden for 18.48. Win, win, win.
