Christmas Starters
Having more than one course can make a meal feel that bit more special, so don’t forget your Christmas starters for 2025 when you’re menu planning. Offering up a couple of options, if you’re catering for different likes and dislikes or dietary requirements, is a lot easier when you haven’t had to cook the Christmas dinner from scratch yourself. To make life easier still, when you buy online you can have your frozen Christmas Day starters delivered to your door to make 2025 the most relaxing Christmas ever.
Christmas Starters
Christmas starters obviously make a great first course before the Christmas mains or all-important Christmas turkey, but they can also make good Christmas canapes or a great addition to a Christmas buffet; so they’re very handy to have on standby in the freezer. With the best will in the world, plans change, and numbers fluctuate, so if you find you’ve got more Christmas dinner starters than you have guests, nothing will go to waste, they can just stay in the freezer for another occasion.
“The freezer was stocked to the brim with an amazing selection of mains, starters and puddings. I did a meal plan for the festive period and everything went so smoothly.” - Sandra 5* Trustpilot
Starters for Christmas dinner (or lunch) are also a good contribution if you’re invited to someone else’s over the festive period - a practical gift which is always appreciated. Everything’s hand prepared in our kitchens, so your Xmas starters will look and taste homemade (or even better). Just don’t forget to check the cooking instructions on the packaging as some bits need defrosting first and you don’t want to get caught out. We also have plenty of vegetarian Christmas food, vegan Christmas food and gluten free Christmas food in our range of easy Christmas starters to make sure everyone’s catered for!

The food shop at this time of year is often bigger than the regular weekly one, so if you’d rather have your frozen Christmas dinner starters delivered to your door, then you can buy online.

If you haven’t already, you can join our mailing list here and we’ll let you know when our Christmas delivery slots open.
