Because the only thing better than a Christmas pie… is knowing exactly what to eat with it!
Ah... Christmas! The season of twinkly lights, questionable jumpers, and the scent of roast potatoes wafting through the house.
It’s also pie season, and around here, that means gluten free Christmas pies so good, even the turkey gets jealous!!
Whether you’re hosting a full festive feast or sneaking a pie between wrapping marathons, we’ve put together the ultimate guide to turning your pie night into a proper Christmas celebration. From mash and gravy to candlelight and cocktails - this is your roadmap to a deliciously gluten free, gloriously festive plate.
Rich, hearty, and just a little bit fancy.
Potato pairing: Go for a truffle mash — buttery, creamy, and ever so indulgent. It’s the kind of mash that makes you want to pour a glass of something posh.
Veg: Glazed carrots and tenderstem broccoli, finished with a drizzle of honey and a crack of black pepper.
Gravy: A deep, rich red wine gravy with a splash of port to echo the pie’s bold filling.
Drink of choice: A big, velvety Malbec or a cheeky mulled wine — because it’s Christmas and restraint is overrated.
Table setting: Think dark linens, twinkly candles, and gold cutlery. Maybe even a sprig of rosemary on each plate (fancy, but achievable).
Perfect moment: The main event... Christmas Eve dinner with a little bit of luxury before the chaos begins.
Creamy, dreamy, festive perfection.
Potato pairing: Garlic and thyme roasties — crisp on the outside, fluffy inside, and begging for gravy.
Veg: Roasted parsnips, sprouts (with bacon if you’re feeling extra), and a handful of cranberries for sparkle.
Gravy: A light turkey gravy, with a splash of cream if you’re feeling fancy.
Drink of choice: A sparkling cider - refreshing enough to cut through the richness, but still festive and fun.
Table setting: Rustic charm, plaid napkins, fairy lights, maybe a few pinecones scattered about.
Perfect moment: Boxing Day lunch when everyone’s still in their pyjamas, and the only rule is “seconds are encouraged.”
Unapologetically sprouty. Utterly divine.
Potato pairing: Cheesy dauphinoise potatoes... because if you’re leaning into indulgence, go all in.
Veg: Buttered greens and roasted chestnuts. Keep it simple so the sprouts can do their thing.
Gravy: A smoky bacon gravy (trust us, it ties the whole thing together).
Drink of choice: A hoppy gluten free beer, something bold to match those flavour-packed sprouts.
Table setting: Cosy chaos - mismatched plates, twinkly tealights, and maybe a few novelty sprout decorations (commit to the theme).
Perfect moment: That “friendsmas” dinner where everyone’s a bit tipsy and loudly debating whether sprouts are good (they are, obviously).
Spiced, warming, and full of Christmas cheer.
Potato pairing: Sweet potato mash with a hint of cinnamon — soft, vibrant, and a perfect match for those Moroccan spices.
Veg: Roasted carrots, parsnips, and red onions tossed in pomegranate molasses. Colourful, sweet, and beautifully festive.
Gravy: A vegan gravy spiked with smoked paprika and tomato paste — rich and warming without the meat.
Drink of choice: A spiced apple cider or a mug of mulled mocktail — warming, fruity, and completely plant-based.
Table setting: Boho vibes, bold colours, lots of candles, and maybe a few pomegranate halves for drama.
Perfect moment: A cosy dinner with your veggie mates, when you need proof that plant-based doesn’t mean boring.
Christmas dinner you can hold in one hand!
Not all festive meals happen at a table. Whether you’re braving the chill at a Christmas market, watching the fireworks, or heading out for a frosty walk, this one’s your on-the-go handwarmer.
Where to eat it: Wrapped in a scarf, mittens on, somewhere twinkly and festive.
What to pack with it: A flask of hot chocolate (or mulled wine... no judgement), a mince pie for dessert, and maybe some crisps for crunch.
Perfect moment: That cold December afternoon when you want all the Christmas flavour without the washing up.
