Little ones love the softplay at Partyman World of Play – the under-threes area is perfect for tiny tots. Kids also adore the entertainers here (they make us laugh, too). If throwing strikes at Hollywood Bowl doesn’t warm you up when it’s chilly outside, the spicy nachos with tangy salsa and sliced jalapeños will. Family time over the holidays?

Vue . You’ll find autism- friendly screenings on the last Sunday of every month at 10am. Here, films are played without trailers or adverts and with lower lights and sound. Meanwhile, Nickelodeon Adventure offers free entry for kids under 90cm. You won’t see the older ones for dust – they’ll be off with fave TV characters like Rugrats, Spongebob and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

Boom Battle Bar has it all. American pool, shuffleboard and augmented reality darts are all on the menu if you’re a group of up to six people (up to eight for darts). But get there early – after 8pm it’s over-18s only. Feeling sluggish? Trying to beat the clock at Escape Hunt or running around at Immersive Gamebox will chase away any winter blues! Netflix fans will want to try

Get that American flavour at Shakeaway – the ‘chocolatey’ with Hershey’s cookies ‘n’ creme and a topping of Hershey’s chocolate sauce should do it. You’ll find more American chocolate at Social Shakes , with the Reese’s Peanut Butter shake (right) – a thick mass of chocolate sprinkles, peanut and chocolate sauce and Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups. Or go for a classic hand-spun chocolate shake at Shake Shack and make it malted. Boy that’s good!

Coco Asia brings a lavish restaurant and lounge to the heart of Lakeside Shopping Centre, Thurrock. Relax in stunning, immersive surroundings and enjoy passionate customer service, delivering an experience unlike any other. Embark on an exotic culinary journey inspired by the ancient spice route. Coco Asia aims to push culinary boundaries creating a unique and exciting dining experience. Our high-energy space creates a vibrant atmosphere and guests can enjoy the ambience of our restaurant and outdoor terrace, with stretching waterside views.

’Tis the season to be jolly, and December is a great month for putting your cares to one side and celebrating with loved ones. We think there’s no better way of spreading some cheer than over a coffee with your besties or, if funds allow, a humdinger of a Christmas lunch. Here’s our pick of the spots to visit and treats to try.

IT’S A WRAP Take a break from wrapping presents and treat yourself to wrapped food instead. Ask Italian ’s Pollo Prosciutto (oven-baked prosciutto-wrapped chicken breast with veg) is heavenly.

PARTY IN PRIVATE If your seasonal event demands VIP treatment, Bourgee ’s your venue. You can hire out this modern steak and lobster restaurant and go relaxed or indulgent. 7

OPEN FOR LUNCH 1PM SAT & SUN BLOSSOM NIGHTS : UNTIL 1AM FRI & SAT

ITALIANS DO IT BETTER Panettone always makes us think of Christmas. Grab a slice of the deliciously fluffy Italian fruitbread at Caffè Rizzoli . Yes, there is a prosecco bar there. And, yes, it does go with panettone.

CHRISTMAS COFFEES Taking time out with your best pal over a steaming hot coffee is a wonderful way of de- stressing during the busy season. With Caffè Nero , Costa Coffee , Starbucks and Triple Two Coffee , you’re spoilt for choice here at Lakeside. We’re already embracing autumn flavours with Costa’s

indulgent new Maple Hazel range and the iconic Pumpkin Spiced Latte from Starbucks. Oh, and we wouldn’t mind Caffè Nero’s spiced mince pie with our cappuccino. Just after the perfect espresso to perk you up? Triple Two Coffee’s is short, strong and expertly prepared by their ‘coffee masters’.

WHAT’S ON THE MENU? This Christmas, Burger King brings back its ‘12 days of Whopper’ menu, with exclusive offers via the Burger King app from 1-12 December.

CHICKEN VS TURKEY Some of us will always prefer chicken. Fact. So we will be sticking to Nando’s and Chiktopia . And the Buffalo Chicken at Subway , of course.

PROSECCO PARTY Book your Christmas party at Prezzo. Enjoy either two courses from £22 or three from £25.50. Available from 15 November. Just add fizz!

STAY TUNED We’ve been reliably informed that Pizza Hut has festive deals up its sleeve, so keep checking on its website for deets…

QUICK FIX Teens get bored and hungry when Christmas shopping. Put a smile on their face quickly with Pizza Hut Express or a Tortilla burrito.

ALL SET Zizzi ’s Christmas menu offers three courses for £24.95. The sample menu we saw lists seasonal goodies like Spicy ‘Nduja & Wild Boar Linguine.

15 TIME OUT FOR TWO Wanting to get away from it all? You and your other half will be transported to the Far East at Coco Asia Bar & Grill . Expect opulent surroundings and sophisticated cuisine.

When we’re tired of turkey, we turn to tacos and tapas. Head to Casco Lounge for tapas sharing boards (friends and colleagues may also be glad of a change from stuffing for festive lunches). Need a quick spice hit? Taco Bell does burritos and great tacos (obviously). And Tapas Revolution delivers traditional Spanish tapas and an awesome shellfish paella. A TOUCH OF SPICE

DOING IT FOR THE KIDS

If your little ones have been little angels during Christmas prep, take them out to Gourmet Burger Kitchen or Wimpy . Both have great burgers and top kids’ menus.

FUEL FOR FESTIVE SHOPS We have to admit we’re not always as organised as we’d want to be when it comes to present shopping. This year we’re going to start early – and on a full stomach. We’ll be filling up on Cafe Giardino ’s Full English with juicy Cumberland sausage. Or, if we’re doing brunch, we’ll go for a turkey or nut-roast

stuffed sarnie at Pret A Manger . When we’re running out of time and need a quick snack, a Pigs Under Blankets Baguette or Festive Bake at Greggs does just the job. Afternoon sugar rush? It’s the hot, sugary, Spanish doughnuts at Love Churros, with choc dipping sauce, or a warm-from-the-oven Mr. Pretzels cinnamon pretzel.

HEAD Copy 20

CHOPSTICKS, READY! Amid the sometimes-stodgy offerings out there, you might be craving something warming yet light. That’s when we turn to soups, noodles or fluffy rice dishes. Wasabi ’s new Salmon Noodle Salad hits the spot as does the Kare Burosu Ramen with silken tofu and seasonal greens at Wagamama . For a classic Tom Yum Soup that’ll warm your cockles, head to Thai Express – fragrant lemongrass and coriander are a hit. And then there’s egg fried rice. It just works. At Chopstix you add a topping, say, Pumpkin Katsu Curry, to the rice and you’re all good.

TAKE THE BISCUIT Personalise a giant cookie from Millie’s Cookies with a message from £19.99. Want to treat colleagues? A box of Krispy Kreme doughnuts always brings good cheer. 23 SEASONAL SPUDS If you’re a potato fan, but the thought of another roastie doesn’t appeal, Spreads Café does an ace baked spud – or try the three bean chilli and avocado filling at M&S Café .

LET’S GET SIZZLING Winter blues? Get a taste of the sunny Mediterranean on a chilly day with the fresh- grilled street food at Sizzled .

CARNIVAL CHRISTMAS Las Iguanas has pulled out all the stops for a Latin-inspired Christmas. Whether you’re celebrating with family, friends or colleagues, you can book your Christmas party between 14 November and 10 January. The festive menu includes dishes like Bobo de Camarão – prawns in a spicy ginger,

coconut and lime sauce (above) – with plantain and Jerk BBQ Pork Belly. There’s also its famous Bottomless Brunch, with a tasty menu and unlimited cocktails, prosecco or draught beer for two hours. Throughout December, its Navidad Nights offer late-night Bottomless Brunch – and that means party tunes!

DATE NIGHT Every Thursday from 3pm, it’s Date Night at Miller & Carter Steakhouse . Three courses start from £28.95, so if your partner prefers experiences to presents, you know where to go.

DOUBLE TROUBLE If your gang all WFH you can still do a Christmas party. And if that party involves the two-patties-as-standard burgers at Five Guys , so be it.

UNDER A FIVER D is for December – and doners. The Doner 2.0 meals at German Doner Kebab are all under £5 – ideal when you don’t want to break the bank.

tape to help get a perfect line – yes, really!

makeup debate continues on social, but for evenings out, we’re backing this seductive shape. To get these feline flicks – a fave look of Bella Hadid, Megan Fox and half of TikTok – start with a taupe base. Concentrate the colour on your lashline, blending out and up with a fluffy brush to start the elongated wing. Add a smoky grey shadow, blending up and out to get the cat-eye shape. Finish with jet-black liquid eyeliner – make sure you trace the V shape in the inner corners – and slick on mascara.

Jade, Stylist at RUSH Lakeside tells us: “Ask for a soft, face-framing fringe for a sultry, retro look. If you have straight hair and feel brave, a straight-cut, cropped fringe could work.”
