MORRISONS has announced that its Christmas Food to Order service has launched.

Customers can now browse a range of starters, mains, sides, desserts, party food and drinks as well as vegan and gluten free options.

Collection slots are available between the December 21 and Christmas Eve with 463 stores to choose from. Bradford-based Morrisons’ team of chefs and foodmakers have spent the last 12 months testing and crafting the perfect Christmas range.

Highlights include The Best Scottish Smoked Salmon which is triple smoked over oak and cask chippings for 14 hours in Morrisons’ own kilns in Grimsby and The Best Fully Trimmed Scottish Wild Venison Loin that has been trimmed and hand cut by Morrisons Butchers.

Also available in Morrisons Food to Order range are turkeys starting from £13.96, award-winning vegan options including The Best Vegan Vegetable Wellington and showstopper desserts such as a Fresh Cream Strawberry Gateau.

Customers can also reserve some of Morrisons award-winning wines including The Best Barolo which picked up a coveted gold medal at the International Wine & Spirits Competition and is perfect for pairing with Christmas dinner. Hannah Kilburn, buying manager at Morrisons, said: “We know how early some of our customers like to plan for Christmas and our festive Food to Order service is going to help them do just that.

“Customers will be able to find everything they need from feasts to feed the family, intimate dinners with a loved one or parties with friends.”

To place an order, customers need to head to the website, or visit the customer services point in their local store. They choose their collection store, date and time for delivery, and pay a small deposit.

Orders can be placed now, right up until December 14 and customers pay the balance of their order on collection.
