If you haven't managed to book a Wintry trip away this season, fear not. Opening this December until February 2010, The East Rooms are popping their own Alpine Ski Lodge on their roof for the festive season. On arrival, it’s shoes off and woolly socks on; sink into a comfy, cushioned sofa and enjoy the cosy warmth of a roaring open fire.  Expect to share a bubbling, four cheese fondue, a piping hot plate of tartiflette or a mountain-size portion of Pot au Feu (served straight from the fire) to satisfy your Alpine appetite. Wash it all down with house recipe vin chaud and start the party with some ice-cold Eristoffee vodka shots. To lift the après-ski mood, groups can buy the Grey Goose Glacier, a giant 4.5l rehoboam of frozen vodka encased in a block of ice, for £600 (with all the mixers) or organise their own ‘Keg Party’ by ordering an 88 pint barrel of beer with a DIY hand pump to help yourself. With ‘views’ of the Mont Blanc massif and your (fairground) helicopter standing by ready to whisk you off for some high Alpine adventure, it’s bound to be an evening like no other.
