This Christmas, RoniB’s Kitchen brings together the best of both worlds, classic British holiday favourites and vibrant Filipino Noche Buena dishes. It’s a festive table that celebrates comfort, heritage and bold flavours, the kind that make everyone feel at home.
From Lechon-style pork belly to Ube trifle, Tamarind creamed spinach, and Kalamansi crushed potatoes, this menu is all about flavour, family, and festive joy.
Lechon-Style Roast Pork Belly
The centrepiece of our Christmas spread; juicy, crisp, and full of Filipino flavour. Marinated in garlic, soy sauce, vinegar and a drizzle of our Garlic Chilli Oil, it’s slow-roasted until golden and tender. Think British roast meets lechon kawali perfection.
Try with: a side of Tamarind creamed spinach for a tangy contrast.
Hot Honey Carrots
A simple side with a fiery twist. These roasted carrots are glazed with honey and a touch of Garlic Chilli Oil, giving a sweet heat that pairs beautifully with savoury mains.
Filipino BBQ Pigs in Blankets
A festive favourite reimagined! Chipolatas wrapped in smoky bacon, roasted, then brushed with our Ihaw-Ihaw BBQ Sauce for a rich, sticky glaze inspired by Filipino street grills.
Kalamansi Crushed Potatoes
Move over lemon potatoes, our version brings a refreshing Filipino twist using Kalamansi Marmalade. Lightly crushed baby potatoes tossed in butter, salt, and marmalade for a citrusy, tangy side dish that brightens the plate.
Tamarind Creamed Spinach
A reimagined classic — creamy spinach lifted with the gentle tartness of Tamarind Jam. Perfect alongside roast pork or turkey, this dish balances richness with just the right zing.
Garlic Chilli Green Beans
Crisp and fiery, these green beans sautéed in Garlic Chilli Oil bring colour and heat to your table — a nod to the lively sides served during Noche Buena in the Philippines.
Ube Trifle
A feast isn’t complete without dessert! Our Ube Trifle layers sponge cake, ube halaya (purple yam jam), custard, and whipped cream. A stunning centrepiece that tastes as good as it looks. A sweet symbol of East meets West.
A Feast of Two Cultures
This Christmas × Noche Buena menu celebrates what makes both cuisines special, generosity, joy and flavour. Whether you’re Filipino, British or both, your table deserves a bit of flavour without compromise this festive season.
So set the table, turn up the carols, and bring a little Filipino sunshine into your British Christmas dinner.
