The countdown to Christmas has begun, and with it comes one of the most eagerly awaited launches of the year.
Even Dame Judi Dench can’t get enough. And she’s not alone – thousands of regulars make Côte at Home a festive tradition, returning year after year for indulgent, easy-to-cook French feasts delivered straight to their doors.
Back for another season of festive feasting, the premium delivery service from Côte Brasserie returns with its sell-out collection of Christmas and New Year menus: generous, joy-filled, and a little bit French (in the best way).
Every December, Côte at Home’s festive collection becomes something of a household ritual – delicious, foolproof and full of joie de vivre. Each dish is designed for maximum flavour and minimal stress, so you can spend less time cooking and more time celebrating.
This year, Executive Chef Steve Allen, whose Michelin-starred career spans Restaurant Gordon Ramsay, Pétrus and Claridge’s – has created a line-up that’s indulgent, elegant and unmistakably Côte.
The Festive Turkey Feast (£134.95, serves six) stars a marinated British turkey breast from Larchwood Farm, surrounded by honey-glazed pigs in blankets, Brussels sprouts à la Française, apricot and mustard glazed Chantenay carrots, and roast miso parsnips with shallot and thyme jus.
Prefer something richer? The Chateaubriand Feast (£164.95, serves six) reimagines the French classic with a succulent 1kg cut, served beautifully, and surrounded by all the same trimmings.
Vegetarians, rejoice: the new Tartiflette Feast for four (£49.95) pairs molten Camembert and shredded Fable mushrooms with spiced braised red cabbage and golden roasted vegetables – pure Alpine comfort, done the Côte way.
No celebration starts without a few nibbles and a showstopping dessert. Choose from delicately smoked beetroot-cured salmon (£14.95), rich chicken liver pâté (£8.95), or silky Jerusalem artichoke soup (£6.95). Then finish in style with Christmas pudding (£14.95), mince pie pain perdu (£8.95), or golden brandy butter madeleines (£11.95).
For mornings-after and in-between moments, the Festive Breakfast Box (£67.95) delivers flaky croissants, jams, granola, sausages, bacon, eggs, fresh orange juice and Crémant de Bourgogne bubbles. The Buffet Box (£76.95) is perfect for grazing: French cheeses, charcuterie, smoked salmon, potted crab and chicken liver parfait, with artisan breads and preserves.
And because every toast deserves the right bottle, Côte’s Festive Drinks Package (£79.95) has Christmas morning covered from Buck’s Fizz, Palooza Rouge for your main feast, to a bottle of Port for the cheese course.
If your idea of New Year’s Eve is less white tablecloth and more laughter-filled grazing, Côte has you covered. The Buffet Box (£76.95, serves 2-4) is a ready-to-serve spread of French cheeses, truffle-laced saucisson, cured ham, smoked salmon, pâté, confits, crackers and olives – everything you need to look like the perfect host without lifting a peeler. Pair it with a bottle (or two) from Côte’s festive drinks range, and you’ve got a party in a box.
And for the first 150 orders, Côte has teamed up with Big Potato Games to add a complimentary party game to keep the fun flowing long after the cheese board is cleared. Because great food deserves great company – and a little friendly competition.
To welcome 2026 in style, Côte’s New Year’s Eve Feast (£169.95 for six / £84.95 for two) begins with beetroot-cured salmon and horseradish cream, followed by British and Irish Côte de Boeuf with gratin dauphinois and black garlic jus, ending with a dark chocolate financier and cherry compote. Très chic.
Behind the menus is Steve Allen, Côte Brasserie’s executive chef. A Michelin-starred talent, Steve has honed his craft at top restaurants including Pétrus and Claridge’s, and brings years of fine-dining experience to every festive dish. Commenting on this year’s festive launch, Steve said: “Our Côte at Home festive boxes have become a Christmas tradition for so many households. They’re generous, joyful and full of flavour – exactly how Christmas should be. Joyeux Noël et Bonne Année!”
Delivered chilled and ready to serve, Côte at Home’s festive menus are available to order now, with nationwide delivery from 18–23 December. Early booking is essential – these boxes tend to disappear faster than the last roast potato. Orders can be placed at coteathome.co.uk.
