Freight drivers sailing with DFDS on their Dover to Calais and Dover to Dunkirk routes will be able to enjoy a complimentary Christmas meal on board, from Sunday 21st December.

Traditional Christmas turkey, served with pigs in blankets, roast parsnips in honey, batons of carrots, Brussel sprouts and crispy roast potatoes in a flavoursome jus will be on offer.

To follow, there will be a selection of festive dessert treats, including mince pies and homemade classic desserts all served in the exclusive on-board driver area, Road Kings.

The complimentary Christmas dinner and dessert will be available on all sailings for freight drivers from Sunday 21st December up to and including Christmas Eve.

Dave Lewis, Food & Beverage manager said ‘’Truck drivers face long and variable working hours, long distances and tight schedules. We recognise all year round how important good food and rest is and it’s especially great that we’re able to offer all our freight customers a complimentary Christmas dinner for them to enjoy the festive spirit on-board our ships.’’
