The main event

We all know the most laborious part of your menu is the main event, the ham or protein of choice. But don’t waste your elbow grease, scoring, cooking and glazing, when you can simply pick up an exceptional ham straight from the fridge.

Coles has brought out whole turkeys, glazed hams, Turducken and even vegan roast options.

For quick and easy finger food and canapes, head straight to the freezer aisle or meat department and pick up pizza spring rolls, croquettes, gyozas and prawns in blankets. If you have an air-fryer, these delicious morsels only require a quick re-heat and will go down a treat with guests.
