Our Butchers’ 12+ Christmas food favourites

Inspired by the 12 days of Christmas, here are our Butchers’ 12(+) Christmas foodie favourites:

 

Up first: here come the birds!

 

1. Turkey

Traditional yes, but nothing says Christmas more than turkey lurkey!

2. Goose

You just can’t beat a Goodman’s goose (if you know, you know)!

3. Duck

When was the last time you tucked into duck at Christmas? Could you be tempted this year?

Explore our Free Range Christmas Ducks

 

(NB. All our festive poultry are accompanied by their giblets, so you can make a stock or gravy which knocks everyone’s new Christmas socks off!)

 

4. Partridge

If you’d like to shake things up this year and surprise everyone with something seasonal and a little bit different, why not lay a brace of partridge down on your Christmas table…

Beef incoming:

 

5. Rib of Beef

A day that brings everyone together calls for something special to feast on, and a rib of beef is certainly a joint for the job!

6. Rolled Sirloin

Extremely tender and full of great flavour, we find our rolled sirloins are always a popular Christmas food choice – and being boned and rolled means cooking and carving couldn’t be easier.

Yes please, I’d like a Grass Fed Rolled Sirloin Joint this Christmas!

Let’s talk, pork:

 

7. Pork Loin

Christmas crackers + pork crackling = a truly cracking Christmas!

8. Glazed Ham Joint

A perfect Christmas Day centrepiece and a gift that will keep on giving when it fills your Boxing Day sarnies…

Explore our scrumptious Glazed Ham Joints here

 

9. Pigs in Blankets and Sausage Meat

I think we’re all in agreement that piggies in blankets are a staple Christmas food, and our sausage meat can turn it’s hand to make many yummy Christmas treats – homemade sausage rolls to name just one!

Add some Pigs in Blankets to your shopping basket

Feeling lamb-y?

 

10. Butterflied Leg of Lamb

Roast lamb with all the trimmings will always ensure you have full tummies and empty plates this Christmas Day, and this is another fantastic joint which is easy to carve and serve.

Order your Grass Fed Butterflied Leg of Lamb

And last but by no means least:

 

11. Smoked Salmon

You can count on smoked salmon layered onto some fresh bread, finished with a squeeze of lemon to create a simple yet scrummy starter!

12. Pâté

Pâté is another wonderful Christmas starter to have up your sleeve, and it’s also great to have around to nibble on as and when, isn’t it?

Explore our Fresh Pâté

 

13. 3lb Game Pie

We’ve had to add one more recommendation into our Christmas food list because everyone needs a trusty pork pie in their fridge over the festive season…

Delve into our one-of-a-kind, family-sized Game Pie here

(A 1lb Game Pie is also available!)

 

It was tricky to narrow down this list as there are endless options, but we hope these suggestions help you as and when you stock up your fridge and cupboards for the festivities!

If you would like to order from us this Christmas, our order forms are now available in our Bromyard and Hereford farm shops, you can also download one, or simply shop with us online.

 

From everyone here in Herefordshire and from our families to yours, we wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year,

Team Legges
