Mouth-watering Chocolossus Biscuits, a Mini Mince Pie Medley, Elvas Plums and Glacé Clementines form a selection of the incredible food offering.

This new show-stopping suite of wickers is a comprehensive collection of the very best of Fortnum’s including everything you could need for a delicious Christmas. This feast is designed to last the entire festive period, alongside surprise additions that make perfect keepsakes. To name just a few of the near-ninety delights encased in special wickers there is an entire Tea Service, beautifully crafted Cheese Board with Glass Dome, decorative Table Bomb – an indoor firework which explodes with vibrant confetti and streamers to create a party-themed centerpiece – as well as a host of foodie delights. A Whole Ham is a showpiece with Chicken Liver Parfait, Game Pie and a selection of tasty cheeses to add to the banquet, with a multitude of preserves and chutneys to accompany. Christmas wouldn’t be complete without sweetmeats and the vast array of confectionery does not disappoint. There are three types of truffle, Glacé Fruits, Peppermint Creams, Fortnum’s famous Chocolossus Biscuits, Cinder Toffee, Florentines and Clotted Cream & Strawberry Afternoon Tea Biscuits. The feast is finished with a range of spirits and wines – hand-picked from Fortnum’s own cellars – to suit every taste, and finally, a selection of teas and Christmas Coffee.
