CHRISTMAS BOX 2024
DELIVERY DATE
23rd DECEMBER 2024
We have to say a huge thank you for all of our persistent guests who have been asking about our yearly Christmas Box since early in the summer. It’s been incredible to have so many people chasing us to say how good their Christmas Dinner has been the last few years and we've gotten ahead this year to prepare earlier to ensure it's the best Christmas Box yet! Following some requests for the reduced offer of Just the Main Course, we are now in a position to offer the core meal prepared for you by our chefs as a smaller box for smaller families or groups of friends. With a kilogram of each of the trimmings as well as 3kg of Aged Sirloin for those with a smaller group, just grab the mains for a carefree christmas!
As ever, we only have so many sets of hands so expect this to sell out in time like the last few years so be sure to get this sorted. Sadly, once an order is place it will not be refundable.
The main event
This is an incredibly generous feast and we expect it to feed up to 6-8 people but as with our curry boxes, sometimes it can go even further; we’ve done all the hard work so all you have to do is place everything in the oven at different times to reheat, assemble and enjoy the festivities.
For an extra little treat, you can add a bit of caviar from our friends at N25 or if you're with a bigger family or just have an appetite for more meat add another rack of beef too
NB While this menu will remain static, there may be some minor variations as we continue to prepare and work with suppliers.
Also be aware that all orders made are final and non-refundable. We have a very tight allocation and sadly will likely struggle to resell following the last closure of this box as other people make arrangements for their Christmas Day.
DELIVERY WILL BE MADE BY DHL/INXPRESS ON MONDAY 23RD DECEMBER WITH ALL RELEVANT TRACKING INFORMATION BEING PROVIDED AT THE START OF THE WEEK!
Please note that this will be the only date we can organise delivery and should your postcode fall with any notes on our "DELIVERY" page, inform us as soon as you can to see whether we can make other arrangements! Also be aware this will be shipper to your billing address listed against the item unless otherwise requested via e-mail.
NOTES: Approximate weights, as we’re cutting a natural product there may be slight variation in the exact weight and as this is a one-off item we will not be able to amend, cancel or transfer to another week once the order is placed.
