Christmas & New Year Orders
Christmas Courier Delivery
Last Christmas Delivery Dates: Friday 20th December
Unfortunately our last delivery date for Christmas this year is Friday the 20th of December. Therefore, there is a limited amount of seafood that you will be able to enjoy, from us, on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.
Our seafood platters contain items like frozen prawns, cockle meat or peeled brown shrimp that may defrost during delivery and therefore can't be refrozen. This means that you would have to eat your seafood platter by the 23rd December.
We suggest you order fresh seafood like lobsters and crab early in December and freeze them on delivery. Lobster and crab freeze really well, just take them out of the freezer the day before you want to eat them and pop them in the fridge still in the vac pack bag to defrost thoroughly.
Our Colchester Pyefleet oysters will be good for Christmas Day but not our Colchester Rock oysters.
We have been through all our products to make a note of whether it will last for Christmas, if you can order and freeze in advance or if it's best enjoyed the weekend before Christmas. Please see individual products for specific advice.
