There will be no tea and biccies, if you keep the visual approach to good VMC conditions, day or night. If its slightly marginal, do the procedure.

My ops manual doesn't specify any difference between day or night visual approaches.

So do you never do night visuals anywhere??? You might find it a tad tricky in some of the Greek Islands me thinks. Can you see the approach lights downwind at CFU, or any light for that matter. No, but if you've been there before (at night a requirement), you know where the runway is. If there is any risk of going IMC, have an exit strategy, or don't do it.
