Tom Kerridge fans say chef is 'having a laugh' over £195 uncooked Christmas dinner with no turkey

Tom Kerridge has come under fire for offering a family Christmas dinner box for an eye-watering £195 - and it doesn't even include a turkey, roasties or veg.

The celebrity chef's Beef Wellington Christmas Box comes with two courses: Beef Wellington and full-sized pigs in blankets as the main, and sticky toffee pudding along with salted caramel fudge for dessert. The box serves four people, working out at a pricey £48.75 per person.

The box promises to "provide the ultimate Christmas indulgent meal", with the 1.2kg Wellington made of beef fillet with a black truffle duxelle and herb crepe wrapped in puff pastry, and the sticky toffee pudding served with toffee sauce and festive spiced brandy. But the box has been criticised for its eye-watering cost, particularly given that the meal still has to be cooked at home after being delivered fresh on 23 December.
