PRESTON'S newest eating house has launched its Christmas menus, offering fabulous feasts for the festive season.

Designed for at least four friends to enjoy, the Italian Feast features heaps of choice for just £9.99 a head. There are three top quality courses of authentic Italian grub. Choose from two starters, four main dishes including chicken, meatball and vegetarian options, with the traditional Crostata Di Festa to round off the meal.

Or for the more indulgent, the Italian Banquet offers four courses of tempting treats at only £15.99 per person.

Begin with a choice of two speciality starters followed by mouth-watering main courses including a pork hock joint in red wine. Ice cream and coffee finish off this Christmas cracker of a meal. And watch out for some drinks discount offers.

But you could sample the grub for free if you enter the Citizen's delicious competition.

We have three Italian Banquets for four people to enjoy - each prize is worth £40. To enter, name the two special Christmas menus at Bella Pasta. Mark your entry Bella Pasta Comp (Internet), Preston Citizen, 3 Winckley Court, Chapel Street, Preston, PR1 3JJ. The closing date is Oct 24.
