What about tucking into this festive munch for brunch?

Top chefs Neven Maguire, Paul Flynn and Darina Allen believe in serving a simple yet delicious Christmas brunch. Arlene Harris reports on their mouthwatering suggestions

Neven Maguire suggests a combination of creamy avocado and crispy bacon on toast topped off with a runny poached egg. 

THERE  is no getting away from the fact that 2020 has been a year like no other we’ve ever known. But despite all the restrictions and hardship, Christmas is still coming and although we may not be allowed the same number of guests as normal, spoiling ourselves with some delicious food should still be a priority.

And while Christmas dinner is still the main event, we can also enjoy a decadent late breakfast or more fittingly, a festive brunch.
