With Christmas just around the corner, Delifonseca Dockside is all set to make this season that little bit more delicious.
Located on Brunswick Way, the award-winning restaurant, deli and bar is known for its fresh, local produce with an international twist, and this festive season, they’re ready to bring everyone together once more.
The expert team has created a range of seasonal menus perfect for a merry lunch with colleagues, a big family feast at home on Christmas Day, a catch-up with friends, or ringing in 2024 in style on New Year’s Eve.
Proprietor Candice Fonseca said: “We want to take the stress out of the Christmas so everyone can focus on enjoyment. This year’s menus are all about bringing people together around great food and drink, allowing them to relax and celebrate the season without worrying about the details.
“We’ll also be offering our famous customisable hampers filled with treats like chocolates, cheeses and chutneys, so you also don’t have to worry about the dreaded Christmas shopping! They are a great way to share something special and they are always a hit in terms of a thoughtful gift. Each one can be tailored to suit individual tastes, ensuring that everyone receives something they’ll enjoy.”
On 4 December Delifonseca are set to host an exclusive Christmas Tasting and Shopping Event. For £10 a ticket (which is then redeemable against purchases of at least £50 in the food hall) guests can sample treats like cheese, honey and gin, learn expert tips from the local suppliers and participate in a hamper masterclass.
“It’s an evening to support local & independent artisan makers – and us,” added Candice. “We’re excited to bring together our community and showcase the amazing talent we have right here in our region. It’s the perfect opportunity to find this year’s gifts while enjoying a relaxed atmosphere in the restaurant and deli with good company.”
For those who prefer to celebrate at home, Delifonseca’s Merry Mess-Free Christmas experience is back for a third year and offers pre-prepared dinners with options like turkey and partridge ballotine wrapped in smoky bacon turkey and a vegetarian hazelnut roast, allowing families to enjoy the holidays without the hassle of cooking.
Candice said: “We understand that many people want to enjoy a festive meal without the stress of cooking. With our Merry Mess-Free Christmas experience, families can sit down to a delicious dinner without any of the fuss. It’s all about enjoying time together around the table and we’ve already received lots of requests so I’m sure it’ll be the talk of the festive season yet again.”
The Delifonseca elves are also prepping for office parties, providing catering options ranging from grazing boards to buffets including turkey and stuffing with cranberry sauce and wensleydale with fig & cinnamon chutney sandwiches, pigs in blankets and maple roasted vegetable rolls.
“Ultimately, ‘tis the season where we can handle all of the food so you can relax and enjoy yourselves,” Candice adds. “Let us take care of the catering, so you can focus on what really matters – celebrating with your team and enjoying the festivities.”
