An easy Boxing Day feast

On Boxing Day, the pressure is off. We think a buffet is the way to go, with the centrepiece a regal, burnished cooked ham. It’s a cinch to put together and the side dishes are designed to make a good dent in Christmas leftovers.

An easy Boxing Day feast

Boxing Day is all about relaxing with family and friends and easy, casual food that’s made for sharing. From the classic glazed ham to the obligatory turkey casserole, there’s something for everyone. So load up the table, then eat, drink and be merry.

N.B. This menu works best when using up leftovers from our best ever Christmas Day lunch menu.
