M&S Food to Order

[GandalfTheGoat]

Appears to be up now!

Link? I’ve just had a little (excited) look and it’s not obvious in the ‘food’ section or the ‘latest food news’ section

christmasfood.marksandspencer.com/l/desserts-and-cheeses/all-desserts-and-cheese

Hope that works - it's allowed me to book my slot and add everything to my trolley!

Seems to be more autumn/winter rather than Christmas. Glad to see some old favourites are back

Wow, that's much earlier than usual!

Yeh! Now I can drool....😃 agree it seems earlier than last year!

Thank you

Sorry we must have posted at the same time, I could not find the Christmas section online. Thanks for the link

Thanks I've just ordered seafood platters for the first time to collect 23rd Dec

Thank you . Order done . Our (one ) store gets very busy so it’s good to get an early slot .

What's good? Is it worth the extra expense?

I always buy a a free range turkey crown and a piece of gammon ( although this year have chosen the ready cooked gammon ) . I will cook the turkey Christmas Eve and reheat with Jamie Oliver’s make ahead gravy on the day .
The gravy is a faff but did it for the first time last year without the star anise and it was amazing .
I also rate the cheese selection .
I don’t buy desserts and we always have a flaming Christmas pudding and have lots of Chocolate around .

Yay! I'll be ordering for collection on 22nd ready for the lovely run up to Christmas! Just need to decide what we'll have this year for the big Christmas Eve dinner....

Annoyingly you have to spend £85 to get the 'free' bottle of wine- never used to be so much-

oops, posted too soon

used to split my order to get 2 or 3 bottles

bit like my posts

Thanks OP.

I'm planning to order a gammon and vegetables for Christmas Eve and turkey and veg for the 25th (one of each type- the luxury ones are great with duck fat potatoes). Then the salted caramel choc pudding (which was delicious and a hit with everyone last year in place of a traditional pudding) and a trifle for dessert on the day. Last year was our first year ordering through M&S as we were staying in a holiday rental and it made things so much easier so hoping to do the same this year as we'll be away again.

Thanks for the heads up! I've just ordered my turkey and 4 desserts

What desserts did you go for @NachoCheese22?

I’m without doubt having one of those chocolate cakes withnthe Mirror glaze......it looks fab.
I also love the panna cotta withnthe raspberry jelly too.

I got the pork last year - the porchetta with herb/ garlic stuffing - butbthe garlic was so strong we couldn’t eat it s9 I won’t be getting that again.
Also had a cannon of lamb which was delicious but isn’t there this year ☹️

I will spend a week or so deciding what to get - and lucky, clever old me- I got a M&S gift card in December last year and all through this year kept putting a tenner on it. I’ve got one card with £200 on and another with £150 on!! So I can get whatever we fancy.
I have started another card for next year already! It’s only got £20 on it but it will soon build up.

Happy M&S Christmas ordering everybody!!

Don'tletthebastardsgrindyoudown I went for the Jolly & Holly dessert (for the kids) the mirror glaze cake, the trifle (for DH who doesn't like chocolate the weirdo) and that golden lustre cake. Can't bloody wait to scoff them! M&S never fail on the dessert front.

Done! I’m so happy that there are other people excited for Christmas already

We’ve gone a bit overboard this year, since we’ve got extra people, it all looks amazing though.

I ordered on Tuesday and got my free chocolate voucher yesterday

We collect on the 23rd as we order food for Christmas eve (ham) and boxing day too, we've gone for a Tudor pie for boxing day and beyond this year.

Oooh thanks for this. My eldest dd really wanted to try the pine cone desserts last year and by the time I'd got round to order them they'd sold out. So I've just ordered those with some other bits and bobs and she'll be over the moon. Thanks for the link, I'd tried looking and couldn't find it to my shame.

I've done mine too. They sent out a Sparks preview earlier in the week. I got an email with the chocolate/wine code that you have redeem by Early Dec, I'm assuming you go to customer service for that.

The pine cone deserts were amazing last year. I ordered really early and got lots of jealous looks when I collected them. Mine all mine......

Symphony, just take it through the till and present the email.
