We’ve always struggled to capture exactly the role
COOK plays in people’s lives. Now, thanks to the success of TVperiod drama Downton Abbey, we
have the perfect comparison (apologies if you don’t watch Downton, but hopefully you’ll still get the gist).
We are the equivalent of Downton Abbey’s domestic cook,Mrs Patmore. Our kitchen is at your service, meaning you
can relax “upstairs” with your guests, your Champagneand your sophisticated conversation. This scenario makes
you the Earl or Countess of Grantham – unless your extended family is staying, in which case you’re
more likely to be Carson the butler.
Enjoy the festivities - and don't spend too much time in the kitchen.

We all know that if your desired gifts are to arrive under thetree on Christmas morning you need to leave Santa a littlesomething to help speed him on his way (not forgetting carrots for the reindeers).
We’ve heard via our contacts at the North Pole that Santa isvery partial to one of our mince pies. This is, quite simply,the best mince pie he’s ever tasted (Mrs Clause’s excepted, in the interests of marital harmony).
The shortest of short-crust pastry made from scratch likeyou would at home; a generous filling of top quality mincemeat; all dusted with icing sugar. If you can buy a better mince pie, Santa will eat his hat.

In our misspent youth,“party food” meant a few
packets of crisps andpeanuts discarded near a
forest of bottles. Now weare older and possibly
wiser, we appreciate that agood spread is essential to
making a party go with aswing. But catering for the
masses can be daunting.Which is why we’ve come
up with a range of partyfood to make the big bash
as painless as p ossible.
GrazingLook no further for theperfect festive buffet forguests to graze on for afew hours.
CanapésBecause our canapes all cook fromfrozen in 20 minutes, you can easilykeep a supply in the freezer and bringthem out as guests come and go.They’re also ideal to have at handwhen friends or neighbours unexpectedly pop round for a drink.
