This festive season, we’ve curated a collection of thoughtful gifts and experiences designed to delight your loved ones and bring a touch of sparkle to the holidays.
A tradition of gifting
Gifting is more than a gesture; it’s an expression of love, appreciation, and connection —values deeply rooted in Italian heritage. At Devour, we’re passionate about helping you savour life’s special moments, whether through an exceptional dining experience or a thoughtfully chosen gift.
This year, Liv, our founder, has handpicked a range of festive offerings, each imbued with the charm and warmth of Devour. From luxurious food and drink to unforgettable experiences, you’re sure to find the perfect way to share the magic of the season.
The gift for the ungiftable: the Devour experience
Struggling to find the right gift for someone special? Give the gift of indulgence with a Devour dining experience. Treat your partner, parent, or friend to a luscious lunch or a divine dinner at Holmfirth’s most beloved Italian restaurant. A Devour gift card is more than a meal; it’s a chance to connect, celebrate, and create lasting memories.
Purchase gift cards: From pasta and pizza classes to foraging and creative workshops - all available online or for collection at Devour.
Handmade panettone: a taste of Italian tradition
In a quiet corner of our kitchen, Rocco spends hours crafting each handmade panettone. Following a cherished family recipe, he folds in sun-dried fruits and rich butter, allowing the dough to rise slowly until it achieves the perfect light and airy texture. Every panettone is a labour of love, embodying the patience and care of generations of Italian bakers.
Traditionally enjoyed with a warm espresso or a glass of dessert wine, panettone has become a holiday staple for many. For a modern twist, try toasting a slice until golden and spreading it with a touch of local grass-fed butter. Perfect for sharing, our panettone makes an ideal Christmas gift — a true taste of Italy and a delicious way to bring people together over the holidays.
Purchase handmade panettone: Available in-store at Devour.
La De Da coffee blend: the perfect stocking filler
Coffee isn’t just a drink; it’s an art form. Devour’s exclusive La De Da coffee blend, crafted in collaboration with award-winning Dark Woods Coffee, is a testament to this belief. This speciality blend combines South American and Indian arabicas with premium robusta beans from India’s Harley Estate. The result? A smooth, rich-bodied espresso with notes of toasted hazelnut and dark chocolate — an essential for coffee aficionados.
Purchase La De Da coffee: Medium/dark roast, available in bean or ground form.
Local honey: sweetness from Holmfirth
Bring a taste of the Holme Valley to your holiday table with our locally produced honey. Partnering with Carl from Holme Valley Honey, we create a product as pure as it is exquisite. The bees gather nectar from our wildflower meadow, resulting in honey that’s as delicious as it is sustainable. A perfect stocking filler or addition to your Christmas morning breakfast.
Purchase local honey: small (£8) and large (£10) jars available.
Devour mulled wine and mulled cider: a winter classic
Nothing says Christmas like the warming aroma of mulled wine. Our homemade blend, crafted with Sicilian Nero d’Avola red wine, brandy, and a medley of festive spices, is a perennial favourite. Whether you’re enjoying a quiet evening at home or entertaining guests, a bottle of Devour’s mulled wine is sure to set the mood.
Purchase mulled wine: 750ml bottles available.
Homemade limoncello: a zesty delight
Brighten the season with a bottle of our homemade limoncello. Perfect as a post-dinner digestivo or a creative addition to cocktails, this citrusy liqueur brings a burst of Italian sunshine to the darkest days of winter.
Purchase limoncello: Available in-store at Devour.
Books for the Italophile
For the booklover in your life, explore our curated selection of Italian-themed reads. From indulgent recipe books and captivating fiction to practical Italian phrase books, there’s something for everyone. Liv’s personal recommendation?
