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.

This is an incredibly generous feast and we expect it to feed up to 6 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.
