For many of us, ordering takeout from favorite restaurants has become the norm as venues ramped up to-go and delivery services over the past year. Now as December's holidays quickly approach, here's an ongoing list of places advertising the availability of a festive takeout meal. Make sure to check with each restaurant to ensure you get your order in before cutoffs, as many are closing orders starting this weekend.
Beacon Hill Catering & Events
You’d expect a catering company to give you options, but Beacon Hill is over the top with them for the holidays. For a group of four, order from the Beacon At Home menu: ham, a gourmet potato au gratin, salad and rolls ($75). Expecting a huge crowd or looking for a way to say thanks to your (smallish) staff? Order the Festive Family Meal package ($65 each, 12-person order minimum), and choose from among three menus that each include dessert, rolls, mixed greens, a meat protein and side dish. Beacon Hill even delivers! Add wine, more desserts, and even a keepsake, hand-printed card (aw!). Details at beaconhillevents.com or call 509-482-3556.
