Thistle Street's Café Marlayne was the venue for this year's Civic Christmas outing on Friday 19 December. This year's theme was celebrity lookalikes with uncanny resemblances to such A-listers as Madonna and (ahem) Kerry Katona, amazing restaurant staff as they served a feast of festive delights such as seared king scallops and prune and Armagnac tart.
Managing Director Greig "Freddie Mercury" Tosh presided over the annual awards ceremony where top notch prizes for categories such as the Russell Brand "just stepped out of a salon" award for best hair-do and the Amy Winehouse, "they tried to make me go to rehab" award for the person most likely to self-destruct were given to a glittering array of "stars". A splendid time was had by all.
