New Year’s Eve dinner ideas

[Holidayqueen1]

Hi

we are having 6 adults and 2 teenage boys for NYE and struggling for menu ideas! Ideally something I can prep mostly in advance. We’ve hosted a few times before and did home cooked ham with loads of salads, porchetta with dauphinoise and curries so looking for something different which is special.
to add, i’m allergic to lamb and mollusc. Any ideas very gratefully received!!! Starter and main, friends are bringing dessert.

Venison with wild mushrooms, root veg, juniper and bay, cooked in a redwine and redcurrant sauce? Slow cook it in a casserole. Serve with rice and steamed green veg.

Or bake a whole salmon, flavoured with lemon, fennel and dill inside the fish. Serve with a dill and lemon zest creme fraiche , baby garlic new potatoes and a big leaf salad. Looks amazing but so easy to prep

Jerk chicken, rice and beans, colseslaw, sweet potato wedges, sweetcorn, pineapple salsa and garlic mayo
