You Can Get Your Entire Christmas Dinner In A Box This Year And It’s Great Value

Christmas isn’t Christmas without turkey, stuffing, roast potatoes, glazed ham, Christmas pudding, and brandy butter… but it all takes work. A lot of work.

And while it’s not the worst cooking up the dinner for all the fam, wouldn’t you rather be able to socialise with everyone watching Love Actually while the dinner sorts itself out?

Here’s where the Christmas in a Box comes in…

Christmas in a Box from The Butler’s Pantry contains all the elements for a gorgeous Christmas Dinner, including smoked salmon and Goatsbridge smoked trout terrine, a crown of Healy’s free-range bronze turkey with traditional stuffing, a loin of free-range bacon, vegetables, potatoes and all the trimmings, with either Christmas pudding or a toffee and pecan meringue roulade to finish. 

It’s €300 and serves 8-10 people 

That’s actually seriously good value by our calculations considering all the extra food bits you end up throwing in your trolley out of sheer panic…
