Christmas Dinner for Two: The Best Roasts & Sides for Smaller Gatherings

A Christmas dinner doesn't have to mean cooking for a crowd. For couples, smaller families, or anyone choosing a quieter festive celebration, the joy of the season can be captured just as beautifully with a perfectly chosen roast and a few classic sides. It's about flavour, tradition, and sharing something special, just on a more intimate scale.

Roasts Made for Two

Choosing the centrepiece is where the magic begins. For those who want to keep things classic, our Easy Carve Turkey Breast is a simple yet elegant choice, delivering tender slices with all the flavour of a traditional roast with less preparation time compared to a large whole turkey.

If you're after something smaller yet packed with festive flair, our Individual Bacon Wrapped Turkey Parcel With Rich Cranberry Stuffing is a delicious option. Hand-prepared for ease, this dish combines succulent turkey, sweet cranberry, and savoury stuffing, all wrapped in smoky streaky bacon for that perfect festive bite.

For a truly indulgent centrepiece, nothing compares to The Classic Beef Wellington for 2, golden pastry wrapped around prime beef, designed to make Christmas for two feel unforgettable.

Sides That Complete the Feast

Even a smaller gathering deserves the full spread of Christmas side dishes. Our Traditional Pigs in Blankets never fail to bring festive cheer, while the Crushed Chestnut & Apricot Pigs in Blankets add a subtle sweetness that works beautifully alongside poultry.

For extra richness, Dry Cured Bacon Wrapped Stuffing Balls and our range of Sausagemeat Stuffings. From the timeless traditional recipe to the aromatic winter spice & plum - provide the perfect balance of savoury flavour.

No Christmas dinner is complete without potatoes, and Pierre Koffmann's Beef Dripping Roast Potatoes deliver the ultimate crunch. Pair them with his Gratin Dauphinois, rich with cream and layers of potato, for a luxurious addition to the plate.

To bring everything together, our Braised Red Cabbage with Golden Raisins & Winter Spices adds sweetness and spice, while sauces like Cranberry, Port & Orange or a traditional bread sauce keep the meal rooted in festive tradition.
