][1]Still got shopping to do? If so, you might want think about factoring in a mid-shop Afternoon Tea at Champagne Central in Glasgow’s Grand Central Hotel.
When there is still half the Xmas present list to be acquired then a refreshing pick-me-up in the swish surrounds of Champagne Central could be just the job to fortify you for the remaining shops.
The chef has given the hotel’s Afternoon Tea menu a bit of a sprinkle with Santa’s magic Christmas dust so it now features sandwiches with fillings such as turkey and cranberry sauce; scones spiced with cinnamon, mince pies and, naturally, Christmas cake.
With a pot of tea, Afternoon Tea is £12 a head. With a glass of posh fizz, the cost is £19.95 per person.
With its original Italian marble flooring and spectacular, dome-shaped chandelier, the Champagne Bar is definitely no turkey but the rest of the hotel’s facilities are also rather swanky.
The Tempus restaurant gets good reviews from 5pm diners and, at present, they’re running a bargainacious 5pm Big Deal on a steak dinner for two people. Fillet steak, chips and a glass of wine each is just £29.50 for two people.

I know, I know, it’s like Christmas has come early.
