Gymkhana Tandoori Lamb Chops Meal Kit

Send the finest-quality premium Indian dining experience to the food lover in your life. We partnered with Gymkhana Fine Foods, known for their flagship restaurant’s 2 Michelin stars, to offer a cook-at-home collection of high-welfare meats, paired with masterfully balanced sauces and marinades produced by the iconic restaurant for home delivery. Each DukesHill x Gymkhana Fine Foods meal kit comes elegantly packaged in a DukesHill box and contains your star ingredient perfectly paired with Gymkhana sauces and marinades, ready to finish at home.

St George's Ham and Ham Storage Bag

Perfect for those who appreciate great food, send a premium St George’s Ham to the budding cook in your life, paired with a ham storage bag. Our finest quality ham is a celebration of excellent British farming techniques and traditional curing methods. Each leg of outdoor-bred English pork is immersed for a week in DukesHill’s own Wiltshire brine which gives it a moist texture. Unlike other brining processes, a touch of unrefined brown sugar is added, imparting a subtly sweet flavour through the ham. The accompanying storage bag ensures optimal freshness and preservation, allowing the recipient to savour the taste for longer.

DukesHill Gift Card

A DukesHill gift card is the perfect present for the cook who appreciates the finer things in life. This versatile present allows the recipient to choose from our wide selection of artisan food and drink. No matter what preferences and dietary requirements they have - our DukesHill gift card is bound to make their day.

Chateaubriand

Impress your recipient with the ultimate gift for foodies - a chateaubriand. This premium cut of beef, famed for its tenderness and rich flavour, promises an unforgettable dining experience. It’s the meat equivalent of a bottle of Champagne and is ideal for special occasions or indulgent home dinners as it embodies luxury and indulgence. Even better if presented with a bottle of our creamy Béarnaise Sauce and a bottle of this full-bodied Malbec!

Artisan Charcuterie and Cheese Platter

We produce our own range of continental style air dried meats, perfect for a charcuterie board. This selection contains Italian-influenced sliced porchetta (175g) and Lomo (150g) - pork loin air-dried with paprika to Spanish tradition. It also includes Bresola (80g), produced from the finest beef leg cuts that have been sea-salted and allowed to rest, and Pastrami (175g), made from lean British beef and spices. Every aspect of this artisan charcuterie and cheese platter allows the lucky recipient to sample something a bit different - a great gift for the cook always willing to try new things in the kitchen!
