Bangor University students added their support by providing about 160 boxes of"goodies" to be given out to people in need.
Chef Danny Baker said he did not know how many people to expect but that local food banks and a homeless help group had handed out flyers in advance. The plan is to run the restaurant like a normal day with table service provided by about 50 volunteers offering to take food orders and wash pots. Seven volunteers prepared the fresh ingredients on Christmas Eve and entertainers are playing music throughout the day."There are people out there not really having a good time in what is a family holiday," said Mr Baker.Mohammed Nazakat, from Victoria Fish Bar in Whitchurch,, although he was not sure how many people may turn up.
And about 400 Christmas dinners with all the trimmings having been delivered for free to people in need across Rhondda Cynon Taff and Cardiff.and distributed by helpers on Christmas Eve, according to local councillor Wendy Lewis.
