It seems guaranteed that we’ll be making compromises of some description this festive season. Guest lists might be limited, but we’re not going to let that stand in the way of the traditional merry making. And Monty Clevely of Full Monty Events has teamed up with chef Anna Humphreys to help on that front – they’ll be delivering Christmas in a box directly to the door, with a one-of-a-kind hamper bursting with top quality produce and oven-ready festive dishes. Think high-welfare free-range turkey, sourced from a small, family farm in West Horsley, handpicked vegetables from New Covent Garden market and cheeses from British artisans. You can choose from a Christmas Day box, which includes breakfast, canapés and full dinner, including a choice of five sides; or a Full Monty box which also includes Christmas Eve supper and Boxing Day brunch. Paired wines, fizz and port, Christmas crackers, gorgeous handwritten menus and name cards, floral centrepieces, candles, table runners and wreaths are also available as extras. You can keep your paper hat on…
From £95 per person for the Christmas Day option (£150 for the Full Monty). To order, see fullmontyevents.co.uk
