A Proper Christmas Feast

A Proper Christmas Feast

Christmas Meat for the Festive Table

Christmas is when good butchery earns its place at the centre of the table. Our festive collection brings together Bronze turkey and Christmas cockerel, dry-aged beef roasting joints, porchetta and York-style ham, alongside pigs in blankets, sausage meat, bacon and other Christmas favourites.

Across the range, we favour meat with proper provenance, traditional husbandry and the flavour that comes from slower-grown native and heritage breeds. Our butchers prepare each cut with the same care we bring to the range throughout the year.

Whether you’re planning a traditional Christmas lunch or something a little different, the collection is put together around generous centrepieces, proper trimmings and cuts chosen for the Christmas table.

Choosing Your Christmas Centrepiece

For a traditional centrepiece, a whole Bronze turkey or Christmas cockerel gives you the familiar Christmas roast with plenty of scope for stuffing, bacon and proper gravy. If beef is more your thing, a dry-aged rolled sirloin gives generous, even slices and is straightforward to carve at the table.

Porchetta and dry-cured York-style ham offer alternatives for smaller gatherings or for anyone wanting something different from turkey. Then there are the trimmings: pigs in blankets, dry-cured streaky bacon and classic sausage meat are the things that make the rest of the plate feel like Christmas.
