Christmas Menu
An Xmas private chef experience for the moments that matter most
Introducing Our Christmas Menu
An indulgent private chef experience for the moments that matter most
There’s something about Christmas that makes us pause.
Not in the same way a holiday does. Not like a long weekend or a summer break. Christmas isn’t about stopping everything. It’s about pressing pause together.
We return home. We set the table. We light the candles. We pour the wine. And in those small, shared rituals we remember how it feels to belong.
At Meals, we believe food has always been at the centre of that. So for Christmas, we’ve created something special: A Christmas tasting menu that celebrates tradition while embracing indulgence.
Crafted to be served in the comfort of your own home by your own private chef, it’s festive dining without the stress.
No oven timers. No washing up. Just moments spent where they matter around the table.
So whether it’s for Christmas Day or for a Christmas Party with friends or colleagues, we’ve got you covered.
A Festive Journey in Three Courses
Our Christmas private chef menu is more than a meal. It’s an experience. A carefully curated sequence of flavours designed to transport you to the heart of the season.
To Start… A Spark of Winter Elegance
Choose between two very different, but equally beautiful, openings.
Blueberry Cured Salmon, Lemon Curd Cream, Buttered Savoy & Dill Oil
Fresh, silky, and bright with citrus — this dish opens the evening like a crisp December morning. The blueberry cure adds a whisper of sweetness that dances with the richness of the salmon.
OR
Sweet Potato Croquettes, Lemon & Turmeric Aioli, Wild Herb Salad & Orange Dressing
Golden, warm, and earthy with a playful zing. This vegetarian option is a true festive crowd-pleaser as comforting as it is colourful.
The Main Event… Tradition Reimagined
At the heart of the menu is a choice between classic Christmas indulgence and contemporary vegetarian creativity.
Rolled Turkey with Sage & Shallot Stuffing, Pigs in Blankets & Turkey Gravy
A timeless centrepiece. But elevated — elegant in its plating, rich in its flavours, and served with all the care of Christmas lunch at Mum’s (but none of the stress).
OR
Brie & Leek Filo Tart with Sage & Shallot Stuffing Bites, Candied Walnuts & Carrot Purée
A gorgeous vegetarian main with layers of indulgence. Sweet, savoury, flaky and rich — all the hallmarks of festive comfort, made elegant.
Christmas Sides… A Celebration on Every Plate
No festive meal is complete without the trimmings. Our private chefs will prepare and serve a selection of sides that bring colour, texture, and nostalgia to every bite:
- Roast Garlic Potatoes
- Charred Brussel Leaves
- Honey Glazed Roast Parsnips & Carrots
- Braised Red Cabbage
- Cranberry Sauce
Every detail is thought through. Every dish arrives with warmth.
To Finish… The Magic of Dessert
Finally, a dessert that feels like a gift in itself — you choose the finale.
Chocolate & Salted Caramel Terrine with Honeycomb Crackling & Chocolate Soil
A rich, luxurious plate of textures — soft, smooth, crunchy, and decadent. It’s Christmas in velvet form.
OR
White Chocolate Croissant Bread & Butter Pudding with Festive Spiced Cream
Warm, nostalgic, and lightly spiced — this is the dessert that wraps the evening in a hug. Like carols by candlelight.
Why This Menu Matters
You could cook it yourself. You could book a restaurant. But neither truly lets you be present.
Hiring a private chef for Christmas Day means one simple thing:
You get to enjoy it, too.
No worrying if the turkey’s done.
No clearing ten pans at 9pm.
No dashing from kitchen to table in search of tinfoil, teaspoons or sanity.
Just a relaxed, elegant meal, prepared and served in your home, by a talented chef while you sit back and soak in the warmth of the people around you.
But it’s not just about being present.
With the cost of ingredients, drinks, electricity, and even your time cooking a full Christmas dinner at home isn’t just stressful… it’s expensive!
When you break it down, hiring a chef for Christmas isn’t just a luxury. It’s a surprisingly smart option.
You’re not just paying for food, you’re investing in a memory. And when the last plate’s cleared, you’ll be glad you did.
This isn’t just a menu.
It’s a moment.
Private chef hire for Christmas is now open and dates are already booking fast.
Let us take care of the cooking,
so you can take care of what really matters.
