Start Your Feast Right
Begin your festive table with our chicken and corn soup. Warm the appetite and serve it with heat & eat mini garlic butter baguettes for an easy, crowd-pleasing start. Choose the fresh country vegetable soup for a lighter, summery choice that brings the perfect balance of spice and comfort.
Serve something cool with the sticky rice salad. Present it in a large bowl for a refreshing addition that looks beautiful beside chilled sparkling drinks. Enjoy bold flavours and effortless preparation; every dish needs only a quick heat or toss before serving.
Make Mains Feel Homemade
Fill your Christmas table with mains that feel indulgent and stress-free. Serve cottage pie for creamy, rich comfort that pairs perfectly with a crisp green salad. Add the frozen puff pastry topped pulled chicken & leek pie for golden pastry and a hearty filling that tastes freshly baked.
Choose slow cooked whole lamb shanks for a tender, flavourful option that pairs beautifully with creamy spinach or sweet potato and pumpkin mash. For a lighter, sun-soaked meal, bake the chicken broccoli bake, full of fresh flavours that bring the taste of summer to your plate.
Offer plant-based guests the frozen butter chicken curry. Serve your chicken curry with a side of warm naan bread from the bakery section. Enjoy mains that deliver comfort, flavour and Woolworths quality in every bite.
Sides That Complete the Table
Bring colour and texture to your Christmas table with sides that complement any main. Roast baby potatoes with garlic & herb butter for a golden, crispy finish. Add freshness with the rosa tomato leaf salad, perfect for warm afternoons and family lunches.
Pack a beef lasagne for a beachside picnic or garden braai. Keep things vibrant with the Moroccan chicken couscous salad, full of spice and texture. Serve each side with confidence, knowing every product reflects Woolworths’ care and freshness.
