The best Christmas 2023 dinner boxes delivered

Forget scrabbling for supermarket delivery spots, yes, Christmas meal boxes are still a thing. Here's how to get everything you need for lunch on Christmas Day delivered to your door this year. 

 

Tom Kerridge's Beef Wellington

Tom Kerridge's Beef Wellington

Tom Kerridge is back this Christmas with his legendary Beef Wellington. Inside the box is almost everything you need for a turkey-free Christmas dinner including the wellington, red wine sauce, pigs in blankets and a sticky toffee pudding and toffee sauce to finish (as well as some fudge). You'll just need to get the vegetables yourself. 

Price: £215 (Serves four)

 

St John's Celebratory Spread

St John's Celebratory Spread

Another turkey-free dinner comes from St John, whose three-course affair kicks off with smoked mackerel rillettes before a main course of confit pork shoulder and you'll finish up with gingerbread pudding. While you're there, it'd be rude not to add some of the excellent St John wines to the delivery too.

Price: £90 (serves two).

 

Cote at Home Christmas box

Cote at Home Christmas feasts

Cote are already known for some extremely good-value at-home boxes so it's no surprise that theirs offers one of the best deals. Their Christmas feast includes around a 2-2.5kg turkey breast, pigs in blankets, stuffing, truffle gratin potatoes and parsnips with chestnuts. A vegetarian version with Butternut squash and goat’s cheese pithivier is also available, as is a chateaubriand feast. 

Price: £99.95 (£69.95 for the vegetarian version) Serves up to six people.

 

Simon Rogan's Christmas at Home

Simon Rogan's Christmas at Home

For the fanciest possible Christmas dinner, the Simon Rogan version is a very good option. Here, as well as potted cornish mackerel, there's a poached stuffed turkey from Goosnargh and confit chicken leg as your main course and Christmas pudding with fig leaf cream for dessert. There are lots of possible add-ons too - the truffle pudding seems like a must. 

Price: From £95 per person

 

Tommy Banks Christmas Box

Tommy Banks
