Best for: Fishes with gills.

In anticipation of the Yule Tide Cheer
A visit to Tuttons was drawing near
Only a 3 minute walk from Covent Garden Underground
Tuttons restaurant is so easily found!

In a corner of the restaurant, with a view of the market, I waited
My boyfriend decided he was going to be late, how frustrated
No worries for me though, I had love brought to me
In the form of a Tuttons Christmas Martini!

So now I had love, what about peace?
Ah yes! Tuttons delivered, with Prosecco, a feast!
So love and peace at this Christmas time
What about joy that I wish to be mine?

Well, by now, my boyfriend had arrived from the station
And I’d had so much love and peace, a kiss was no temptation!
Who cares if he was late, and so was his train.
I was completely distracted by Tuttons’ champagne.

It was time for our starters to serve nonetheless
Some French breads, and whitebait for our mouths to caress
(still no kiss)

Then onto our mains O Holiest of Night!
I ordered confit duck and for once it was right!
Tender and moist, the way it should be
(the Confit duck that is, not the kiss, silly!)

The kiss still escaping him, my drummer boy’s selection?
Mussels in white wine with a parsley inflection.
“These mussels are so big” came the thought to my head
“It must’ve been steroids on which they were bred”

After the mains followed Christmas tidings so good
If I thought it couldn’t get any better, it could
It’s form: a chocolate brownie with vanilla ice cream
That would turn Scrooge’s nightmares to a dream!

Alternatively, for an easy eat
Then why not try the panna cotta treat
(Which had added 3 inches to my waist, I’m sure
Darn you oh Tuttons for all your allure!)

Yes, my friends, my stomach was large
But I was the one who was truly in charge
So it was discretely (I thought) that I undid my top buttons
And knew that when I left, I could blame it on Tuttons.

Eventually I had to face it, twas time for us to go
So I took one last glance at the halls all a-glow
I didn’t want to fare Tuttons restaurant adieu
In fact my whole evening I would gladly redo

With pretty fairy lights and twinkles a wink
A new thought came to me and I started to think
Finally I said “Yes, to all a happy Christmas!”
And looked up to my boyfriend and gave him a kiss-mas!
