Epicurean is our largest hamper, arriving in a willow trunk with wraparound straps, Gold Botanical Crackers, and its own marble heart serving board. The cheese course runs to Ford Farm, Long Clawson and Quicke's, served with John Ross's smoked salmon and Wessex Country Gammon's honey-glazed ham. Domaine Serge Laporte Sancerre, Bollinger Champagne and Fonseca's Port lead the drinks, while Linden Lady's 48-piece chocolate selection, Tenuta Marmorelle's panettone and a 1kg white chocolate snowman cover dessert. Cornish Charcuterie's chicken rillette and Cornwall Pasta Co.'s organic mafalda round out the savoury side.
