We’ve got all you need to make Christmas extra special this year, from sumptuous starters to show-stopping centrepieces (and all the trimmings!) as well as decadent deserts. Party food and nibbles? We can help with that too. The tricky bit is deciding what to have!

Donald Russell has all the delicious food you need for a festive feast, so you can get prepared for the upcoming season. Ranging from seafood starters to decadent desserts, as well as dinner selection boxes, our Christmas shop has all the trimmings to help you plan a stress-free meal for the big day. 

The best thing about Christmas (with exception of Pigs in Blankets, of course!) is getting the chance to spend time with friends and loved ones. We can’t think of a better excuse for a party. This year we want to help make sure your party food is up there with the best of them.

Our Chef, Eddie, has picked out some of his favourite Christmas buffet ideas, along with a few suggestions to make them even more impressive. Which will you be trying? 

With summer in full swing, is there a better reason to break out the grill and throw some meat on the flames? And while we all have our favourite barbeque meats and go-to sides at home, how are they doing it in the rest of the world?
To celebrate the best time of the year for outdoor cooking, we’re taking a trip across the globe to find out the unique local barbecue styles. From South Korea and Japan to Brazil, Australia and the USA this is the great global BBQ-off.

Surf and turf - or reef and beef, for our Australian friends – is a classic combination of beef (turf) and seafood (surf). Both have their own unique flavours but paired together they are a great flavour combination that you must taste to appreciate.

At Donald Russell, we have a wide variety of steaks, from tender fillet and juicy ribeye to lesser-known cuts like onglet or bavette. Whichever type you chose, proper cooking is the key. The difference between rare and well done is only a matter of minutes and cooking it wrong can ruin even the finest steak. We’ve asked our resident world-class Chef Eddie McDonald to talk us through how to get the perfect steak every time.

We’ve asked Donald Russell Chef, Eddie McDonald, to give us a rundown of his favourite roasts for beef, lamb and pork as well as his top tips for cooking them. Read his five rules for a successful roast below.

Easter takes place on the first Sunday following the full moon that occurs on, or just after, the spring equinox. Simple. Regardless of when it is or why you celebrate it, it’s all about an end to the darkness of winter and the new life and vitality that we start to see around us. Sounds like a good thing to celebrate.  

From classic British lamb to tender seafood, at Donald Russell we have a wide range of specially selected meal options to buy for home delivery.
