Christmas at Delicatessen Estrella
Lots of lovely tasty treats are on offer at Delicatessen Estrella to help you have the perfect Christmas.
From wonderful ripe cheeses, traditional Christmas puddings, fantastic wines, homemade mince pies, delicious chocolates, relishes and biscuits - right through to hampers, baskets, foodie treats and tasty stocking fillers.
Cheese
We have a great range of familiar and not so familiar artisan cheeses that are an essential part of Christmas. In addition to our usual fantastic selection we have a number of really special whole baby cheeses.
This Christmas we have whole baby Colston Bassett Stiltons. Simply the best Stilton with a wonderfully creamy texture.
For something softer, but with a punch we have whole baby Stinking Bishop cheeses. This pungent, runny cheese will be a star performer at the Christmas table.
Vacherin Mont D’or is a classic at this time of the year and perfect for sharing.
Baby cheeses are limited in numbers, so put your order in quickly.
We have a number of indulgent seasonal additions to our cheese counter such as a wonderful creamy French Brie with a layer of black truffle running through the centre.
Leave It To Us
Why not let Estrella put together a selection of the best cheeses for you. We can offer a range of cheeseboards such as the Classic selection, the Continental or the Best of British. Prices start at £16 to serve 4-6 people and include biscuits.
On the side
Although you know our cheese is perfect on its own you can also choose from a range of biscuits & accompaniments. From pickled green figs, dried muscatel grapes, a fig or date and almond wedge.
Home Cooked Gammon & Pâtés
We use boneless Gloucester Old Spot Gammon sourced from Morris's Farm at Hoggeston, which we home roast with a honey glaze. Choose from smoked or unsmoked in various sizes.
In addition to our usual selection of cured meats we are offering a a range of French pâtés either cut or whole, perfect for entertaining over Christmas. Select from fantastic pure Duck Rillettes, a coarse pork Pate Campagne which makes an excellent starter or a luxuriously smooth Pate Gascogny made from chicken livers and Armagnac.
Chutneys and Relishes
We have a wide selection of accompaniments to both the main event and the cold cuts.
All Things Sweet
We think our Christmas puddings are the best we've tasted. Rich and sumptuous they come in two sizes. To accompany we offer the Ultimate Plum Pudding Company Brandy Butter.
Homemade Mince Pies
Helen’s all homemade mincepies are a festive speciality at Estrella. We've two flavours this year, Seville with a wonderful orange infusion and rich and fruity Traditional. Both are suitable for vegetarians.
Panettone
We have a range of Panettone available in a range of sizes. Traditional, Almond and Chocolate Cream. Also returning this year is our ever popular Panbriacone, 'the drunken bread'... a panettone liberally soaked in Italian dessert wine.

Delicatessen Estrella presents the ultimate selection of gifts for food lovers.
Our hampers and gift baskets come in all sizes to suit every budget and are either ready made for you to take away or can be bespoke to your particular tastes and requirements.

Wines and Drinks
We have a great range of fine wines to see you over the whole Christmas season. From Champagne and sparkling wines to a perfect Chablis, Burgundy or Bordeaux that will match what ever is on your seasonal menu. We also have some lovely dessert wines, ports, liqueurs and spirits to round things off. And for the traditionalist we have a selection of locally brewed beer, a great gift for the real ale fan.
Too Busy To Cook, But Still Want Good Food?
We understand how frantic Christmas can be, so in addition to our range of frozen prepared meals and puddings we are also offering homemade party snacks, such as cheese straws and ready to bake cocktail size sausage rolls (traditional and Indonesian spiced).
The Advent Calendar is Ticking!
Whilst we understand that the thought of Christmas looming is enough to make even the most festive of us ‘bah humbug’, things get really busy in the run up to Christmas and to avoid disappointment we ask that you place orders or call to discuss your requirements as soon as possible.
