Festive Feast by Simon Rogan

The home delivery experience from the multi-Michelin star chef behind restaurants including L’Enclume, Rogan & Co and Aulis, has launched nationwide delivery. Created in Simon’s kitchens in Cartmel in The Lake District, each menu showcases seasonal twists on his signature style and dishes, whilst using produce harvested from his very own farm ‘Our Farm’ in the Cartmel Valley as well as from loyal suppliers from across the region. The ‘at home’ offering incorporates a five-course festive feast which begins with truffle pudding followed by a roast onion broth with pickled onions and Westcombe cheddar. The choice of either confit trout with cauliflower puree or Hen of Woods precedes a main course of Norfolk Black turkey with all the trimmings. A classic Christmas pudding rounds off the experience whilst homemade mulled wine, cider or an optional wine pairing is available to accompany. Cheese & biscuits, mince pies as well as a ‘Christmas morning package’ can also be added to the order. The dishes, which come in vacuum sealed bags, have been designed for hassle-free preparation, with only heating and plating required.

Christmas Menu by Adam Handling

Adam Handling's ‘Hame’ (the Scottish word for home) offering has been delivering some of his most loved dishes from his restaurants (The Frog Hoxton and Adam Handling Chelsea), and a few developed whilst cooking at home during lockdown. Hame’s festive menu kicks off with two of Handling’s signature dishes – sourdough with chicken butter and cheese doughnuts - before going full-on festive. Choose between stuffed turkey crown and beef Wellington, tuck into all the festive trimmings, and make sure to leave room for either Christmas pudding or spiced tarte tatin, as well as a whole truffled Tunworth cheese with apricot & apple chutney. Rather than providing hot dishes, the food arrives chilled and fully prepared, ready for cooking and plating at home, complete with recipes and full step-by-step video instructions. Priced from £250 (serves three to four) with nationwide delivery. 

Christmas Menu from Hide

The menu (priced at £58 per person) includes the following dishes: potted shrimp & smoked salmon with warm malted blinis & pickles; stuffed roast turkey with crispy potato cake, red wine gravy, roast winter vegetables and a brioche & clove sauce.
