Star seafood
Push the boat out with a showstopping seafood starter this Christmas.
Order these sweet and juicy lobster tails, topped with a rich langoustine, herb and garlic butter and a sprinkle of fresh herbs.
For a twist on a classic prawn cocktail, look to our new Collection Lobster, Salmon and Prawn Towers – layers of hot and cold smoked salmon, creamy garlic mousse, plump Honduran prawns and watercress mousse, topped with the finest lobster and king prawns.
Love to share? Discover our collection of platters, like our Collection Scottish Oysters and Collection Ultimate Luxury Shellfish Platter, all loaded with the very best responsibly sourced seafood, vibrant garnishes and flavour-packed sauces.

Top-notch turkeys
Whether you’re keeping things low key or feeding a crowd, we’ve got the tastiest, perfectly-sized turkeys and crowns waiting for you online.
Our Collection Free Range Pembrokeshire Heritage Blue Whole Turkeys are free to roam on Welsh pastures, and slower grown for for fuller-flavoured, fat-marbled meat with a subtle hint of natural sweetness. The extra time to grow also gives the turkey a more robust skin, which will crisp to perfection in the oven.

A very veggie Christmas
Following a vegetarian and vegan diet should never mean missing out on your favourite festive flavours and Christmas Food to Order has veggie and vegan delights covered, from must-try mains to plant-powered puds.
Tuck into this Collection Butternut Squash, Brie and Caramelised Onion Wellington, crafted with all-butter puff pastry, generously filled with seasonal squash, creamy brie, jammy onions, pearl barley, pumpkin seeds and tangy cranberries.
For a plant-based main that everyone will love (not just the vegans around your table), order our Plant Kitchen No Turkey Crown. This wheat and pea-based centrepiece is filled with a mushroom, sage and caramelised onion stuffing and topped with a vegan garlic and sage melt.

Seriously tasty showstoppers
Feeling extra fancy and want to really impress your guests? Our Collection 4 Bone Aberdeen Angus Rib of Beef is a no brainer. Matured for 28 days, this stunning centrepiece is all about richly flavoured, unctuous, tender meat. Discover more wow-worthy centrepieces, including British pork, lamb and game, on Christmas Food to Order now.

All the trimmings
A Christmas feast would be nothing without the trimmings! Discover our selection of showstopping sides, including our Collection Potato Dauphinoise – sliced potatoes baked with melty Emmental cheese and garlic sauce, then topped with more Emmental and Barber's West Country Cheddar Cheese (it is Christmas after all!).
Serve this fuss-free, French-inspired side alongside your turkey for extra indulgence or enjoy as part of your Boxing Day buffet.
Plus, we’ve got all the classics covered too, like goose-fat roasties, braised red cabbage, double-wrapped pigs in blankets and sage and onion stuffing balls.

Eyes on these pies
Make the days around Christmas as stress free as possible by having a few of our deep-filled, hand-finished pies to hand to keep hungry visitors happy.
Go full-on festive with our Collection Handcrafted Turkey and Stuffing Pie, packed with turkey in a creamy sauce with sage and onion stuffing, leeks and smoky bacon. The finishing touch? All-butter pastry and pigs in blankets, of course.
Alternatively, try our Collection Wagyu Beef Pie, packed with slow-cooked British wagyu beef with ale-caramelised onions and topped with golden all-butter puff pastry.

Time to graze
Look no further – Christmas picky bits are sorted. Our incredible Collection Build by Numbers Charcuterie and Antipasti Grazing Platter features Napoli salami, capocollo, lombo, spicy salsiccia, 24-month-aged Parmigiano Reggiano, stuffed Halkidiki olives, giant Nocellara olives, cream cheese-filled bell peppers, grilled artichokes and and bruschetta. We've even included a guide to help you build your board.

Dazzling desserts
From the tastiest chocolate creations, like our outrageously chocolatey Our Best Ever Yule Log to twists on iconic faves, like our Handmade Passion Fruit and White Chocolate Pine Cones, there's something for everyone. This year, our pine cones have had a snowy makeover, combining passion fruit and white choc mousse with a tropical passion fruit curd centre, all finished with gold lustre.
Our top pick? It's got to be our Collection Dashing Through the Snow. These dark and milk chocolate mousse reindeer are filled with salted caramel and perched on a white chocolate mousse base with cookie and wafer pieces.
