A roast butternut and cranberry Wellington with ratatouille sauce provides a vegetarian main option.
- The supporting sides are equally festive, including green beans with tomato and red onion, roast potatoes, and broccoli and cauliflower with cheese sauce. With so many dishes on offer, guests can build a plate around their favourites and return to discover something new.
- Dessert is ready to steal a little of the spotlight, with Amarula trifle, mince pies, honeycomb cheesecake and chocolate mousse cake among the sweet selections.
