Have Yourself a Very Foodie Christmas

Wine 

Choosing an appropriate “event wine” is a must during the festive season, whether you are gathering for Christmas Eve, Christmas Day or New Year.

But if you struggle to move away from trusted favourites, let the wine experts at BOTTLES take the strain and advise.

While they can help you pair a wine for any meal, if you are looking for an all-rounder, a good place to start is the Antolini Recioto Della Valpolicella 2017. With spicy plum notes and acidity, it’s light enough to go with everything from turkey and veggies, to beef or cheese. Plus it’s an excellent choice to drink on its own.

On the hunt for celebratory fizz? The light bubbles of their Malibran “Sottoriva” hit the right spot every time.

Seafood

For luxe entertaining, without the hassle, our Wright Brothers restaurant are once again coming to the rescue with their sumptuous seafood platters.

A favourite for those eating in the restaurant, these perfectly presented plates of shellfish feel extra decadent when presented at home.

While ordering one of these for collection will ensure your catering is top-notch, we can’t promise the same when it comes to the behaviour of your guests… we couldn’t blame them for fighting over the last oyster.

Thinking of creating some accompanying cocktails? Pick up some of the new Wright Brothers ‘Half Shell Gin’. Created in partnership with The Ginstitute distillery, it’s designed to complement the restaurant’s oyster, shellfish and fish dishes.
