Todays French Food Recommendations
Christmas & New Year’s Eve Orders – View Tips & FAQS
With The Exception Of Caviar And Fresh Truffles, all fine foods in stock will have best before dates well beyond Christmas 2024/ New Years Eve 2024 and we encourage ordering early (especially on foie gras) as we usually sell out of certain varieties closer to Christmas.
