No Grinch with FeastBox present at Christmas

No Grinch with FeastBox present at Christmas

For many, Christmas is about spending time with family and sharing a traditional meal. But it can also be a time of stress with arguments and feelings of angst over what to serve for that special lunch or dinner. In an effort to help solve this Christmas dilemma, FeastBox has just launched its Christmas food kit options.

“Preparing for Christmas is sometimes a bit daunting,” says FeastBox co-founder Rachel Brown. “The pressure of wanting to serve a great meal to family and friends can be overwhelming, and it's not just anxiety over what food to serve – it can also be about who is going to pay for it all.

“To help with this, we’re offering a few different meal options and allowing our customers to split the bill and pay in installments.”

A FeastBox food kit by Rachel and business partner Tara Wrigley will make your Christmas this year a whole lot easier and a lot more fun. The ingredients for delicious courses will be delivered to your door, thereby removing the stress of creating your own menu and a chaotic trip to the supermarket at a busy time of the year, and sharing the cooking experience creates special memories and laughter with family and friends.

While Christmas food kits are becoming increasingly popular, emerging start-up FeastBox is tempting customers by doing things a little differently to the larger industry players. Rachel says customers get to choose their favourite meat or fish for their Christmas meal, and they can specify the size of their dinner or lunch party.

The FeastBox Christmas food kits also include sharing platters that are a visual feast as well as mouthwatering.

"We're absolutely tiny compared to the likes of My Food Bag so we knew that we had to offer something different with our Christmas FeastBoxes,” says Rachel. “We think our delicious menu designed by award-winning chef Brad King of Falls Retreat will set us apart from our competitors.”

The FeastBox food kits come with quality ingredients from small artisanal producers (including Matakana Smokehouse, Hungarian Artisan Co, Lifestyle Meats and Raglan Coconut Yoghurt) and easy-to-follow recipes to create your dishes. Ingredients used are organic, free range or spray-free where possible.

FeastBox is a Raglan-based business that specialises in putting together food kits and platters specifically for entertaining. FeastBox started in February 2016. Friends Rachel and Tara work with small, quality food producers who provide the ingredients and passionate chefs who design the menus.
