Christmas · Essex

Christmas, three ways

I am Mike, a private chef in Rayleigh. This December I can cook your Christmas dinner and send it to you ready to reheat, cook your office party at work, or cook Christmas Day lunch in your home. Pick the one that fits and I will take it from there.

Questions

Which Christmas option should I choose?

If you want to eat at home and do the reheating yourself, the dinner kit is the simplest. If it is a work party of 10 or more, the office party. If you want a chef cooking in your own kitchen on the day, Christmas Day at home.

When do I need to order by?

Dinner kit orders close at 6pm on Monday 14 December. For office parties and Christmas Day I would ask you to get in touch as early as you can, because December dates go first.

Do you deliver the dinner kit outside Essex?

No. I deliver to SS and CM postcodes on Wednesday 23 December, or you can collect from Rayleigh that morning. Both are free. I cannot take orders for other postcodes.

Can you cook on Christmas Day itself?

Yes, but for one household only. I cook Christmas Day lunch in a single home, so there is just one booking and the date goes once it is taken.

Do you cater for vegetarians, vegans and allergies?

Yes. The kit comes as meat or vegetarian, the office parties have a vegan dish in every course, and for Christmas Day I handle every dietary within the same courses. Tell me when you enquire and I will plan around it.
