Waitrose has launched its Christmas food-to-order menu for 2025, featuring dishes created by Michelin-starred chefs including Michel Roux, Angela Hartnett, Andi Oliver and Rick Stein. Customers must place their orders by 15 December to ensure delivery in time for Christmas, with slots expected to fill quickly.
The menu includes a range of starters, mains, sides, desserts and party food. Among the standout starters is the lobster and king prawn velouté pie (£70, reduced from £80), created with Rick Stein, and scallops and prawns (£15) served with roasted garlic butter and sourdough crumb. Angela Hartnett has contributed arancini (£24) with saffron-infused risotto and braised veal, while Rick Stein's classic fish soup with harissa and parmesan toasts (£25) is also available.
For the main course, Waitrose offers a new 'turkey bauble' (£50) – a free-range turkey breast with stuffing centre, wrapped in smoked bacon and glazed with cranberry and orange. Other options include a No.1 turkey, chicken and duck pie with champagne sauce (£30, reduced from £40), and a wagyu beef pie (£35, reduced from £40) with red wine and port. Fish lovers can choose from stuffed Scottish salmon (£50) or a salmon roulade wellington (£40).
The supermarket also provides plant-based options, including a vegan turkey with all the trimmings, as well as whole cooked lobster and sharing platters. Waitrose's festive menu aims to simplify hosting with oven-ready dishes, covering everything from starters to desserts.
