Christmas Dinner boxed by Wedgwood

Lisa and Paul opened their restaurant 18 years ago

With a recent survey revealing that nearly half of people in the UK find cooking Christmas Dinner a stressful experience, with specific worries including getting the timings right, catering to different dietary needs, and missing out on quality time with family because of kitchen pressures, an Edinburgh fine dining Restaurant believes it has the solution.

The Wedgwood At Home Festive Box, is a full six course festive feast, created using the best of local Scottish ingredients, and supplied with fail safe instructions as to how to cook and plate the dishes.

Having proved a hit with consumers during COVID the box, brainchild of acclaimed chef, Paul Wedgwood, who has owned and operated the multiple rated Wedgwood The Restaurant on the Canongate, with wife, Lisa, for the past 18 years, is back to help out beleaguered festive hosts again for Christmas Day 2025.

Paul and Lisa will be able to cover national deliveries, with boxes containing the fully prepared meals, safely packaged in insulated boxes, sent out on Monday 22^nd December, for delivery by Tuesday 23^rd, or Wednesday 24^th.

Along with the classic box, which supplies a Christmas Dinner for two, boxes are available for a party of three, and multiples thereof. Those dining alone on the big day needn’t miss out on having something delicious to eat on Christmas Day, with a box for one also available. Vegetarian and gluten free options can additionally be substituted, depending on the customer’s requirements.

“After last year’s successful return, we just had to bring the Wedgwood At Home Festive Box back permanently,” said Paul Wedgwood. “Feedback from customers was not only that the dishes supplied tasted amazing and presented of a professional standard, but that they, as hosts, had been able to relax much more, and actually enjoy the meal themselves. We gave them two cold starters to be eaten whilst the other two hot courses were being heated. They could spend the maximum time with their guests, rather than being stuck in the kitchen for hours, missing out on the fun and frivolities of the day.”

“We have stuck with this concept in this year’s boxes, with two easy, but impressive cold starters, a Douglas Fir cured Shetland salmon dish, served with smoked potato, beetroot, watercress, fennel, & capsicum crumble, and a Lammermuir Hills Grouse ham, with Jerusalem artichoke and hazelnut,” said Paul.

“These courses are alternating, as you enjoy one course, you can gently heat the next hot course.  With a choice of main courses; a cider brined pheasant breast, or a roast turkey breast served with all the trimmings, you really do get to create your perfect Christmas.   You can also choose different mains for different guests, in a box for two, one guest can opt for Turkey, whilst the other enjoys the pheasant dish.”

Customers also have the chance to add specially selected wines to their order, including Wedgwood’s very own Rioja.

Paul and Lisa confirmed that Wedgwood vouchers are fully redeemable against the festive boxes.
