Share
Christmas parties are all about bringing people together, and when it comes to creating the perfect atmosphere, there’s one thing that always takes centre stage: the food. The traditional dishes we savour during this festive season do much more than satisfy our hunger—they add to the magic and joy of the holiday. From hearty roasts to indulgent sides and delightful desserts, each dish plays a vital role in making Christmas celebrations truly memorable.
So, what traditional dishes are typically served at Christmas parties, and how can Creative Eateries Catering elevate your festive feast? Let’s explore the flavours that will make your celebration unforgettable!
The Centerpiece: Traditional Roasts for Christmas Celebrations
Roast meats are the quintessential Christmas dishes. Whether you're hosting a family gathering or a larger festive event, the roast always takes centre stage. At Creative Eateries Catering, we offer a variety of mouthwatering roasts that cater to diverse tastes and preferences.
Maple Roasted Turkey with Christmas Mushroom & Chestnut Stuffing
No Christmas party is complete without a beautifully roasted turkey. Our Maple Roasted Turkey (4-5KG) comes stuffed with a rich Christmas mushroom and chestnut stuffing, complemented by cranberry sauce and onion gravy. This dish brings the warmth and flavour of the season, making it perfect for any festive feast.
Oven Roasted Pork Porchetta
A more indulgent option is our Oven Roasted Pork Porchetta (2KG), which is tender, juicy, and full of flavour. Served with roasted Brussels sprouts and a tangy caramel apple sauce, this dish takes the traditional pork roast to the next level, ensuring your guests are treated to something extraordinary.
Marmite and Garlic Shoyu Glazed St. Louis Pork Ribs
Looking for a flavour-packed twist on the usual roast? Try our Marmite and Garlic Shoyu Glazed St. Louis Pork Ribs (1.5KG). The blend of sweet and savoury flavours, thanks to the Marmite glaze, will definitely be a conversation starter. Pair this with shio kombu roast potatoes and saikyo miso rainbow slaw for a complete and unforgettable meal.
Bone-In Maple Glazed Gammon Ham
For those who love ham, our Bone-In Maple Glazed Gammon Ham (5KG) is a must-try. Slow-roasted to perfection and glazed with rich maple syrup, it pairs beautifully with chorizo fat roast potatoes and caramel apple sauce. The balance of sweet and savoury is ideal for those who prefer a change from the usual turkey.
These traditional dishes are just a few examples of the incredible options Creative Eateries Catering offers for your Christmas gathering. Whether you’re feeding a small family or hosting a grand celebration, our roasts are sure to make your Christmas dinner memorable.
The Side Dishes: Enhancing Your Christmas Feast
While the roast may be the star of the show, the side dishes play an essential role in creating a well-rounded and satisfying meal. At Creative Eateries Catering, we understand the importance of complimenting your mains with sides that not only taste amazing but also enhance the festive experience.
- Shio Kombu Roast Potatoes: Crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, these potatoes are seasoned with shio kombu (salted seaweed), adding a savoury umami kick to your traditional roast.
- Swedish Potato Salad: For a refreshing, creamy side dish, the Swedish Potato Salad offers the perfect balance of flavours, with rich, creamy dressing and tangy mustard.
- Barossa Mac and Cheese: Looking for comfort food? Our Barossa Mac and Cheese is creamy, cheesy, and full of indulgence. This side is a crowd favourite and will surely satisfy those craving something rich and hearty.
- Fried Brussels Sprouts with Lime & Kampot Pepper Glaze: Even the most sceptical Brussels sprout eaters won’t be able to resist this dish. The lime and Kampot pepper glaze elevates the natural bitterness of the sprouts, making them a tasty and unique addition to your Christmas spread.
These sides bring out the best in your mains, offering variety and depth to your holiday meal. Whether you’re after something classic or something with a modern twist, our side dishes will enhance your Christmas experience.
Sweet Ending: Christmas Desserts to Satisfy Your Sweet Tooth
A Christmas meal wouldn’t be complete without the sweet finish of a delicious dessert. Creative Eateries Catering offers a variety of decadent options to round off your meal and satisfy your guests’ sweet cravings.
Biscoff Tiramisu
Take a spin on the classic with our Biscoff Tiramisu. This dessert combines the rich, creamy layers of traditional tiramisu with the distinctive spiced flavour of Biscoff biscuits. It’s a festive twist that’s sure to be a crowd-pleaser.
Christmas Fruit Cake
For those who love tradition, the Christmas Fruit Cake is a must-have. With its blend of dried fruits, nuts, and a splash of brandy, this dessert is a rich, spiced treat that’s synonymous with Christmas.
Chocolate Éclair
If you’re after something more indulgent, our Chocolate Éclair is the perfect option. Its soft, airy pastry filled with cream and topped with rich chocolate glaze is guaranteed to satisfy even the most discerning chocolate lovers.
At Creative Eateries Catering, our desserts provide the perfect sweet note to finish off your holiday meal. No matter what your guests enjoy, we have something to delight every palate.
