Friday Night Takeaway Christmas Eve Menu 2026

A Taste of Celebration: The Christmas Eve Feast

Christmas Eve is a magical time, but let’s be honest—juggling the kitchen prep for the big day while trying to actually enjoy the evening can feel like a marathon. This year, let us take the heavy lifting off your shoulders so you can simply collect, warm, and savour.

Rooted right here in our corner of South West France, our Christmas Eve menu bridges two worlds by weaving the vibrant spirit of Indian holiday celebrations with the exceptional bounty of our local terroir. In regions like Goa and Kerala, Christmas is a dazzling, joyful festival filled with glowing lantern parades, streets alive with music, and tables groaning under the weight of spiced, aromatic feasts.

We’ve captured that celebratory warmth using wonderful local ingredients—from rich farm-raised poultry and sweet regional produce to warming winter chestnuts. It’s an effortless way to bring colour, spice, and comfort to your table, giving you a well-deserved night off before the main kitchen duties begin.

Here is what we have prepared for you to collect this Christmas Eve:

• Festive Nibbles: Friday Night Takeaway Christmas Mix - Bombay Mix eat your heart out!

• Tantalising Starters: Kerala Duck & Sweet Potato Cutlets or Kerala Beetroot & Sweet Potato Cutlets

• Celebration Mains: Roasted Chicken Sorpotel or Malabar Roasted Pumpkin & Paneer Pasanda (both served with our signature Jeera & Chestnut Biryani Rice)

• Festive Sides & Bowls: Festive Kerala Kadala Curry

• Accompaniments & Drinks: Garlic Butter & Rosemary Tandoori Roti, Fried South Indian Poppodums, local wine from Chateau de Vacques, English beers from Beerbiere and warming Masala Chai
