Singapore Marriott Tang Plaza Hotel
The green-tiled pagoda roof of Singapore Marriott Tang Plaza Hotel has stood over Orchard Road for decades, and its Christmas takeaway menu leans on tradition too, with a few surprises. This year there are 12 new takeaway creations. The Spiced Rum-Glazed Whole Roast Turkey (S$290 nett, serves six to eight) is brined for 24 hours and dry-aged, then filled with Chestnut and Duck Foie Gras Stuffing. The Roast Pork Saddle with Truffle and Amarena Cherry Stuffing (S$275 nett) is back this year. The Pistachio and Mint-Crusted Roasted Lamb Shoulder (S$290 nett) is new to the menu and slow-roasted on the bone. For a seafood centrepiece, there is the Whole Boston Lobster (S$325 nett) with Chitarra Pasta in Yuzu Kosho Beurre Monté. The log cakes lean fruity this year: a Raspberry Lychee Oolong Log Cake, and a Vanilla Peach Yoghurt Cake topped with a chocolate gingerbread house, both S$99.
Promotion: Pre-order from 2 Nov. Self-collection and delivery from 24 Nov to 25 Dec.

The Capitol Kempinski Hotel Singapore
Set inside the restored Capitol Building and Stamford House, The Capitol Kempinski Hotel Singapore builds its Christmas takeaways on European tradition, with a few playful detours. The roasts cover the classics, from the Spice-Rubbed Whole Turkey (S$168 nett) to the Baked Bone-in Gammon Ham (S$128), with two new additions this year: Hickory-Smoked Australian Barbecued Spare Ribs (S$88) and Braised Wagyu Beef Cheek (S$108). Dessert is where the pastry team has some fun. The new PB&J Christmas Wreath Cake (S$98) turns peanut butter buttercream and house-made berry jam into a festive wreath, while the Chocolate Banana Hazelnut Yule Log (S$98) is made with Valrhona chocolate. The Traditional Beigli (S$38) is a Hungarian pastry rolled with black sesame, walnuts and raisins. For gifting, the 24 Days of Wonder Advent Calendar (S$228) hides a golden ticket for a Heritage Suite stay.
Promotion: Early bird: 20% off takeaways, 10% off hampers when you order by 22 Nov. Collection 21 Nov to 25 Dec.

Lola’s Cafe
Lola’s made its name in Kovan with honey paprika wings and a relaxed, eat-with-your-hands kind of menu, and its Christmas spread keeps to that spirit. The Christmas Feast (S$180+) passes on turkey for a 1.2kg free-range roast chicken and 650g of BBQ pork ribs. A seafood stew, broccoli Caesar salad, mushroom baked rice and mashed potatoes fill out the table. It suits a laid-back Christmas Day dinner better than a formal sit-down. Desserts have always been as much of a draw at Lola’s as brunch, and the tart boxes work as add-ons or something to bring to a party. The Signature Christmas Tart Box of 4 (S$35+) covers strawberry pistachio, chocolate clementine, bergamot earl grey and biscoff banana pudding. The Mini Christmas Tart Box of 9 (S$40+) has three of those flavours in bite-sized form.
Promotion: 10% off orders placed 2 to 30 Nov. Last delivery and pick up on 2 Jan 2027; feast collection from Monday, 16 Nov 2026.

Dumpling Darlings
Not every Christmas table needs a bird in the middle. Dumpling Darlings, the CBD dumpling bar that started on Amoy Street and has since added Circular Road and New Bahru, is making a case for chopsticks instead. Its Christmas Takeaway Special (from S$86+) comes with 30 dumplings in three flavours of your choice and four boxes of egg noodles. That’s enough for a small crowd, or a very determined pair. The flavour to pick is the seasonal Christmas Chicken Dumpling. Think Chicken, roasted chestnuts, cranberries, cheddar and herbs go into each parcel, which arrives with celeriac purée, cider jus, pickled pomegranate and shards of fried chicken skin. It reads like a full roast dinner folded into a few bites. For hosts who would rather skip the carving board entirely, this is the easy option.
Promotion: Christmas Takeaway Special from S$86+, available to order online via Oddle.

Pan Pacific Singapore
After 40 years in the Marina Bay, Pan Pacific Singapore has been the home to countless Christmas moments, and remains a crowd favourite for any festive celebration. The takeaway menu offers the popular classic centrepieces: a traditional roasted turkey, slow-roasted Australian beef rib eye and honey-glazed ham, all with trimmings. Interesting additions this year are a salmon en croûte and hickory-smoked barbecued pork ribs, offering a mouth-watering twist to the lineup. The festive bakes include a traditional Christstollen, a Myers’s rum-infused fruit cake and a matcha strawberry log cake. What sets the hotel’s savoury gifting selection apart is its in-house butchery, where a German Master Butcher prepares handcrafted sausages, hams and cold cuts. So for savoury gifting, the Delicatessen Deluxe Hamper (S$434) is the one to look at, with sausages, cured meats, French pâtés and a bottle of red. If you’d rather sort the whole meal in one order, the Premium Festive Bundle (S$576) puts roasted turkey, cheese-baked lobster thermidor and a chocolate log cake together for a complete feast.
Promotion: Up to 30% off until 30 Nov, then up to 25% off to 26 Dec. Collection from 16 Nov.

Four Points by Sheraton Singapore, Riverview
Hosting a crowd at Christmas usually means days of shopping, cooking and washing up, and hotel catering takes most of that off your hands. Four Points by Sheraton Singapore, Riverview, offers its Christmas spread as a drop-and-go buffet, so all you have to do is set the table. The Mini Buffet comes in two sizes. The S$238+ set feeds ten with Waldorf Salad, Cold Cuts, Beef Shepherd’s Pie, Baked Salmon, BBQ Baby Pork Ribs, Seafood Spaghetti and a Traditional Log Cake. For larger gatherings, the S$388+ set feeds twenty and adds Roasted Turkey Breast with Cranberry Sauce, Honey-baked Ham and Seafood Jambalaya. For office parties or larger gatherings of 30 or more, the Full Buffet (from S$38+ per person) is fully customisable, so you choose the appetisers, mains and desserts to suit your guests. Orders need at least three business days’ notice.

South & East
South & East began as a home-based takeaway in 2020 before settling into Shaw Foundation Alumni House at NUS, and its Christmas sets skip the turkey altogether. Founders Shane Gan and Eve Wibawa pair Western barbecue techniques with Indonesian flavours. Both sets are built around the Signature Five Spice Smoked Beef Short Ribs, smoked for nine hours over hickory and cherry wood. The Ribs Set (SGD 228+, serves three to four) pairs the ribs with Asian Herb Coleslaw. The Complete Festive Set (SGD 388+, serves six to eight) adds a Grilled Half Chicken with Tamarind Hot Sauce, a Marinated Grilled Fish Belly with Grated Coconut inspired by Balinese satay, and a Smoked Pulled Pork Marmalade Shepherd’s Pie. The Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Fish Sauce Caramel might win over a few sprout sceptics. Only 30 sets go out each day, so it pays to order early.
Promotion: Free islandwide delivery for orders before 6 Dec. Order by 31 Dec; delivery or collection 18 Dec to 3 Jan.

Meadesmoore
Tucked on the upper floor of a Telok Ayer shophouse, Meadesmoore built its name on beef from named producers, and its Christmas delivery sets carry that through. The Sanchoku F1 Wagyu Tomahawk Set (SGD 368+, serves three to four) centres on a 1.1kg tomahawk from Queensland producer Stanbroke, cooked over charcoal and served with Pommery Mustard Cream and Sauce l’Entrecôte. For a more traditional table, the Smoked Honey Mustard Glazed Turkey Two Ways Set (SGD 328+, serves four to six) roasts the crown and confits the leg in clarified butter, with Chestnut and Rum-Infused Sultana Stuffing on the side. Both sets open with a Shaved Brussels Sprouts, Apple & Cranberry Salad, come with the restaurant’s four-cheese Mac & Cheese and Roasted Squash & Beetroot, and end with a Wild Berry Pie and Marbled Chantilly Cream. Self-collection takes SGD 20 off the bill.
Promotion: 15% early bird off sets ordered by 30 Nov. Order by 3pm, 24 Dec; delivery until 31 Dec.
