Every December the same question lands in the family group chat: who's cooking? If the answer is "nobody, ideally", the next question is what Christmas food to order so the table still feels like Christmas.
The short answer: for a group of six to eight, order one complete sharing feast rather than a main and a handful of separate sides. You want a centrepiece, a rice or potato, some greens and a dessert, all from one kitchen and arriving together. Tanglin Cookhouse Festive Sharing Feast ($288++, serves 6 to 8) is built that way, with a 1.4kg Tomahawk Beef Wellington at its centre. Orders open for 1 November 2026 to 7 January 2027.

What Makes Christmas Food Worth Ordering?
Not every dish travels well, and not every menu suits a Singapore Christmas table, where you may have grandparents, kids and a friend who doesn't eat beef sitting together. Four things are worth checking before you order anything:
One clear centrepiece. Something you can carve or slice at the table makes takeaway feel like a celebration rather than a delivery.
Sides that fill the gaps. A starch, a green and something rich, so nobody leaves hungry.
A sensible headcount. Order for the number of people you actually have, not the number on the invite.
A realistic deadline. Christmas kitchens book up, so know the cut-off before you plan.
What's in Tanglin Cookhouse's Festive Sharing Feast?
Tanglin Cookhouse describes its cooking as British-inspired with Singaporean influences, a contemporary colonial, East-meets-West style. The 2026 Christmas feast shows that clearly: classic British roast dishes sit alongside dang gui jus and an Asian mushroom rice.
The centrepiece: Tomahawk Beef Wellington (1.4kg)
A Beef Wellington wraps beef in pastry with a layer of mushroom duxelles, which is finely chopped mushrooms cooked down until rich and savoury. This one is made on the bone with a tomahawk cut and adds chestnut and thyme. It comes with a dang gui (angelica root) jus. Dang gui is the root of Chinese angelica, a herb long used in Chinese cooking and traditional medicine (Mount Sinai), and it adds a warm, slightly bittersweet note to the sauce. It's a very Singaporean finish to a very British dish.
Mini Yorkshire Pudding
Small Yorkshire puddings filled with roast beef, pickled onion and horseradish, with cranberry jus. They make an easy starter while the Wellington is being carved.
The sides
Asian Mushroom Rice: shiitake, king oyster and shimeji mushrooms with jasmine rice. Good for guests who prefer rice to potatoes.
Truffle Mashed Potato: finished with chives.
Brussels Sprout & Watercress: with bacon, tamarind and fried shallot, a sweet and sour take on the usual sprouts.
Roasted Seasonal Vegetable: the lighter option on the table.
Dessert: Bread Pudding
Brioche bread pudding with raisin, orange and cinnamon, served with vanilla sauce. It's warm and comforting, and an easy end to the meal.
If some of your guests don't eat beef or pork, note that the Wellington and Yorkshire puddings contain beef and the sprouts contain bacon. The mushroom rice, mash, vegetables and bread pudding don't list any meat, but check with the team if you need a strictly vegetarian meal.
Is One Feast Enough for Your Group?
The feast serves six to eight. For a group of six with big appetites, or eight light eaters, one is right. At $288++, it works out to about $36 to $48++ per person before GST and delivery. For ten or more, order two feasts, or book a table instead: Tanglin Cookhouse also hosts events and parties at its outlets.
How Do You Order Christmas Food From Tanglin Cookhouse?
1. Check the date. Pre-orders cover 1 November 2026 to 7 January 2027, so the feast also works for New Year's Eve and early-January get-togethers.
2. Order at least five days ahead. For a Christmas Eve dinner on 24 December, place your order by 19 December at the latest. Earlier is safer in peak week.
3. Order online. Use the Tanglin Cookhouse online ordering page or scan the QR code on the Christmas takeaway menu.
4. Plan for the extras. All prices are subject to GST and delivery charges, and a $40+ delivery fee applies to orders from 1 November 2026 to 7 January 2027.
When you order, confirm your delivery or pickup time and ask how the food will arrive, so you know whether it needs reheating. For anything else, contact us or WhatsApp our concierge on +65 8303 1863.
How Do You Keep Christmas Takeaway Safe at Home?
Cooked food shouldn't sit out for more than four hours, and the Singapore Food Agency suggests timing catered food to arrive about an hour before you eat (SFA festive food safety guidelines). So schedule delivery close to dinner time. For leftovers, refrigerate them within two hours, eat them within three to four days, and reheat them to 74°C (FoodSafety.gov).
