All three of the Christmas boxes have been designed to heat dishes at the same temperature so you can spend “more time with loved ones” on the big day and avoid any hassle
A major high street restaurant chain is offering to deliver Christmas dinners to households this festive season.
The modern French restaurant chain Côte Brasserie has launched a range of Christmas meals designed by Gordon Ramsay’s former Executive Chef, Steve Allen. The festive menu focuses on seasonal British ingredients with a French twist. The restaurant chain has come up with three options to choose from including a traditional turkey, a Chateaubriand, and vegetarian butternut Squash Tarte Tatin.
The meals are pre-prepared with simple instructions and are ready to throw into the oven. All three of the Christmas boxes have been designed to heat dishes at the same temperature so you can spend “more time with loved ones” on the big day and avoid any hassle. Overall, it will take about three hours to complete.
The boxes will be delivered to your home between December 18 and December 23, and households can place an order through Côte Brasserie’s website now. Below we explain all the options of this year’s Christmas menu at the restaurant chain
