Christmas Starters

Our Christmas range includes a tempting selection of expertly prepared dishes to suit every festive occasion, from luxury seafood starters like Scottish Creel Caught Lobster Tails and Panko Crusted Queen Scallops, to our new Haggis & Whisky Bon Bons and Mini Beef Wellingtons for something heartier. We’ve also got a gorgeous ChalkStream Hot Smoked Trout available, new for Christmas this year, as well as a cold-smoked version.

Whether you’re hosting a smart dinner party or a relaxed family lunch, these starters are designed to impress your guests without keeping you in the kitchen all day. Browse our collection online and have your Christmas starters delivered straight to your door.

It depends on the dish. Some are ready to cook, while others are pre-prepared or fully cooked and simply need reheating. Full details and instructions can be found on each product page.

All preparation and defrosting instructions are clearly outlined online for each product. We always recommend following the individual guidance for best flavour and texture.

Serving sizes vary depending on the product and how you plan to present it, whether as a plated starter or a shared platter. Each product page lists the pack size and weight to help you plan accordingly, and depending on the item, sometimes serving recommendations.

You’ll find full ingredient and allergen information listed for every starter on our website. Please check these before ordering to ensure each dish suits your needs.

All of our starters are sold individually, so you can easily combine your favourites to create a varied starter selection.

We include serving suggestions with many of our dishes to help inspire your presentation. You might add fresh herbs, a slice of crusty bread, or a drizzle of lemon for seafood dishes, but of course, the finishing touches are all down to you.

You can place your Christmas order right away. Ordering early ensures you’ll get your preferred delivery date and secure your favourites ahead of the festive rush.

They certainly do. Many of our starters are available throughout the year, perfect for special occasions, dinner parties, or simply treating yourself to something a little indulgent.
