The countdown to Christmas has begun, and returning this year is Côte at Home. Back for another season, the premium delivery service from Côte Brasserie returns with its sell-out collection of Christmas and New Year menus. Year after year customers return for indulgent, easy-to-cook French feasts delivered straight to their doors, and last year, Express’s Sam Stevenson even praised it as ‘fault free’.

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.

On the menu this year is a Festive Turkey Feast which serves six for the price of £134.95, serves six. It includes a marinated British turkey breast from Larchwood Farm, with honey-glazed pigs in blankets, Brussels sprouts, apricot and mustard glazed Chantenay carrots, and roast miso parsnips with shallot and thyme jus.

Alternatively there’s the Chateaubriand Feast, which also serves six, at the price of £164.95, serves six. It reimagines the French classic with a succulent 1kg cut, served beautifully, and surrounded by all the same trimmings.

For vegetarians, there is the new Tartiflette Feast for four, for £49.95. It pairs molten Camembert and shredded Fable mushrooms with spiced braised red cabbage and golden roasted vegetables.

No celebration can start without a few nibbles and a showstopping dessert. Customers can choose from a variety of dishes including smoked beetroot-cured salmon (£14.95), rich chicken liver pâté (£8.95), or silky Jerusalem artichoke soup (£6.95). 

Then finish with Christmas pudding (£14.95), mince pie pain perdu (£8.95), or golden brandy butter madeleines (£11.95).

But that’s not all, the chain is also offering a Festive Breakfast box, Festive Drinks Package and a Buffet Box for New Year’s Eve. 

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. 

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.
