Festive trends

With Christmas fast approaching, we take a look at some of the festive food trends for parties, corporate functions and the day itself.

Go luxe

A luxury snack or canape is ideal for both intimate gatherings and large company festive functions. From our canape menu some of our popular choices for the festive table include:

  • Dolcelatte stuffed figs
  • Stilton pear & prosciutto wraps
  • Mini salmon & hollandaise tarts

And, you can answer demand for the latest festive trend for Asian influenced cuisine with our tasty Szechuan pepper chicken with tomato chilli jam.

Meat free festivities

We’ve talked a lot about vegan and vegetarian options this year with much more choice in supermarkets and when eating out. And, Christmas will be no different. With M&S serving a Root Vegetable Tarte Tatin, Sainsbury’s has a No Beef Wellington and Tesco has delivered a classy looking Butternut, Mushroom and Chestnut Wreath.

Flamboyant

With The Food People indicating flamboyance as a food trend this year, make your festive plates and table colourful to “satiate the senses”. Think, braised red cabbage, butternut squash, sweet potato, aubergine, purple broccoli, parsnips and don’t forget those lush greens including Brussel sprouts, kale and spinach.
