id think between me and my 3 workers we got about  £200 all in which is treble on previous yrs.   did get given a bottle of JD no.7 that would have made a lovely xmas day treat  but has already been cracked open and down to the label now. might buy another for Xmas day

Blimey Robert, I'm amazed that between 4 of you, you only manage £200.

If you're not out on the tools and you're expecting your guys to declare the tips, then they're robbing you.

Either that or you're all miserable buggers

Agreed,they are robbing both you and HMRC by not declaring all the tips

im still on the tools . in actual fact i think we got nearer to  only £100 in tips but i wrote 200 cos it looked better and i was trying to fit in with the good tip mob in this thread . nontheless we did get more than other yrs which isnt saying much particularly as my round has grown a lot this last year !!

[richywilts]

another for you..

whilst letting it rest.... cover it in foil, it keeps the juice in..

Not reached £100 yet. Its been decreasing over the years since 2008. I remember gettn about £500.
Its just the way things are, its nice to have when you get em but cant expect it.

And to keep it warm.

Also, gently separate the skin from the bird and rub butter on the gap, all over the bird before cooking. This will stop it drying out.

I used to be a chef in the navy so I get to do most of the cooking 

[Dora Jarr]

Thanks for the tip.  I'll pass it on to the cook.

[ascjim]

Ive got about £250 in tips over the last month. A few bottles of wine that i'm giving to other people as presents and a random cheese board lol

[Jon_Phelps]

About £150ish in tips, 2 bottles of wine, chocolates etc from residential. A bottle of prosecco from a shop i do and one of those fancy crates of vintage wines from a company in London i do work for. never had anything from the commercials until this year which was a pleasant surprise.

Merry Christmas to you all,

Jon
