Hosting Christmas lunch always seems like a good idea until you’re stuck in the kitchen, crisping roast potatoes and thickening gravy. If you’re on hosting duties this year, Providoor has an easier solution, with festive feasts delivered direct from the city’s best restaurants to your door – all you have to do is finish them at home.

To help you spend more time with friends and family and less time cooking, here are five Providoor options for Christmas lunch this year.

Three Blue Ducks’ Christmas Pack

If you’re going to throw anyone the keys to the kitchen this Christmas, let it be Masterchef judge Andy Allen. Allen’s Three Blue Ducks Christmas pack does all the heavy lifting for you, with two Christmas lunch essentials: porchetta with roast apple and parsnip puree, and crispy, pan-fried potatoes with confit garlic butter. Add some fresh-and-crisp homemade salads and take all the credit.

Rockpool’s Christmas Sides Pack

It’s the little kitchen tasks that take up time on Christmas Day – think chopping vegetables, roasting potatoes and dressing salads. This pack from Rockpool Bar and Grill will leave you free to cook the centrepiece turkey without distraction, with sides such as a feta and mint-flecked smashed pea salad, roast sweet potato and pumpkin with garlic yoghurt, and burrata with grilled pears and prosciutto.

Clarence’s Turducken Family Christmas Feast
Brisbane newcomer Clarence has pulled out all the stops with this titanic, 11-dish feast for eight people. The big number here is the turducken – a festive turkey-duck-chicken combo roast from Bendele farm – but you’ll also be treated to dishes such as glazed belly ham, oysters, prawns, cauliflower cheese and two desserts. Tell the family to bring their appetites this year.

Nota’s Christmas Family Hamper Box
Nota is known for its easygoing, European-inflected menu and that’s what you’ll get with this hamper box. Start with an indulgent hunk of triple cream Brillat-Savarin cheese before moving onto a quarter-cut Christmas ham and a French farmhouse-style confit duck leg with lentils and jus. Make yourself a simple salad or a tray of roasted root veg and you’re sorted.

Siffredi’s Seafood Banquet
This one from Siffredi’s Spaghetti Bar is for all the festive seafood lovers. The package features the very best of the seafood dishes, with oysters, crab, scallops, tuna and a garlic scampi spaghetti all on the menu. You’ll also get a house salad and a chocolate brownie with yuzu caramel and mascarpone to finish the feast off.
