Never too early to start planning Christmas menus, says Central Foods
Before we know it, the festive season will be fast approaching, so now is the time to sit down and sort out those Christmas menus.
Frozen food distributor Central Foods has a wide selection of tasty food products available to ensure that venue operators can create a real cracker of a Christmas for their customers.
Whether it’s a festive buffet or a delicious Christmas dinner, Central Foods has all the ingredients needed for the very best yuletide celebrations.
“There are some delicious plant-based options to serve to vegan customers this Christmas which will also go down well with those who have had their fill of turkey dinners and are looking for tasty alternatives,” explains Gordon Lauder, managing director of Central Foods. “The Menuserve Cajun Spiced Sweet Potato Roulade is not only a centre-of-the-plate option that’s suitable for those who don’t eat meat or are reducing consumption of animal products, it’s also gluten-free so can be a good choice for coeliacs too.
“Stocking delicious, pre-prepared frozen products that just happen to also be suitable for free-from customers helps operators to manage costs and avoid menu proliferation. The hospitality sector is undergoing a number of challenges at the moment, and such products can help to make it easier to

cope with staff shortages, freeing up kitchen teams to prep and create other parts of a Christmas menu.”
The Menuserve Cajun Spiced Sweet Potato Roulade is filled with vegan cream ‘cheese’ and a sweet and spicy red pepper and red onion chutney and can be served with the usual festive accompaniments like sprouts, roast potatoes and parsnips for a Christmas dinner with a difference. To help reduce wastage and keep tabs on costs, it’s supplied in cases of 16 individually wrapped portions, making it a worthwhile item to add to any Christmas menu.
To round off a festive meal, how about the Menuserve Squidgy Chocolate Roll – a light, squidgy, flourless chocolate sponge, rolled and filled with real, freshly whipped cream and a delicious, rich chocolate ganache, all dusted with cocoa. It’s a super versatile product that can be served at different occasions, including as part of a festive afternoon tea or at Christmas dinner.
And for any buffets over the festive period, opt for Tipiak’s ‘thaw and serve’ sweet and savoury pâtisserie, which includes exquisitely French canapés, pop éclairs, petits fours and gluten-free macarons – available exclusively to the UK food service sector via Central Foods.
