Christmas Produce

Christmas is one of the most important times of the year, a family time. Don't be disappointed at Christmas time, choose your butcher carefully and we have been serving the Lurgan community for over 70 Christmas's, remember we are local people supplying local produce. Food you can trust!

Remember, our Christmas display changes dramatically compared to our weekly display and lots of products that we pride ourselves in are not available as part of our Christmas festive fare. We recommend that if there is a product you would like for Christmas, to buy the week before and freeze.



Turkey

We start taking orders for turkeys in October and November for oven ready, boned, boned and stuffed, turkey fillet or stuffed turkey fillet. We run a computerised turkey order system to prevent disappointment. If you ordered last year with us we can pull up last years order and your address details with our custom designed software. Unlike our competitors we prepare all our produce on the premises. Why not let us take the strain out of carving your oven ready turkey by allowing us to bone or bone and stuff your turkey for you. We can add stuffing to this from our selection or you can provide us with your own stuffing. So you only want white breast meat? Why not try our turkey fillet? Want it stuffed? - no problem.

Our Own Stuffing

Throughout the year we make all our own stuffing specifically, pork and bread stuffing, plain traditional bread, and pork, bread and cranberry which are the most popular. During the festive season we extend this range:
  • Plain Traditional bread stuffing
This has parsley and carrot ideal for a plain bread stuffing, or use as a base to add your own secret ingredients (Save time on preparing the food, and more time wrapping the presents)
  • Pork and bread stuffing
All our pork is locally sourced. Our prize winning blend of seasonings and local pork are added with breadcrumbs to create one of our most popular stuffing. This stuffing is available all year round and is excellent complement to your turkey.
  • Sage and Onion

  • Sage and Onion and Pork Sausage Meat

Gammons

All our gammons are trimmed to the highest specification. In the butchery department they are individually packed to preserve freshness. We cater for all weights, minimum waste guaranteed. No need to order, why not buy in advance and avoid the Christmas rush! Johns tip - if you don't like your ham salty then soak your ham over night, boil your ham and rinse before finally baking in the oven. This year again we are specialising in two different types of cooked gammon, our traditional gammon available on a daily basis all year round or try our gammon joint with a unique blend of cloves and honey to impress your guests! (Johns tip -Gammon becomes ham when cooked) All our cooked hams are easy to carve, but can be sliced on our machine for a minimum charge. Let us take the labour and strain of slaving over a hot stove by allowing us to cook your gammon joint! You name it we can do it!

Roast of Beef

If you feel like a change fall back on the traditional favourite, all sizes catered for, why not have this on boxing day! All our beef is table trimmed and matured for your enjoyment. Our range includes
Silverside
For those who like it lean
Ovenroast
For those who like more moisture and the fully flavour, a bit of fat for a bit of flavour
Ribeye roasts

Sirloin roasts
On or off the bone. Please order well in advance if you prefer the bone in as limited stocks apply

Lamb

Why not try a bit of lamb along with your turkey
Legs of Lamb
On or off the bone Johns tip - for those who are afraid of losing flavour when removing bone, we can res-insert the bone into the cavity so as easy to remove when carving. Why not try our minted roasts?


Pork Roasts

For those who still like white meat and would like a change of turkey why not try a loin of local pork, supplied with or without the crackling. Why not our stuffed pork roasts. Also availble will be ducks and geese but these require pre-order due to limited supply

Delicatessen

Our delicatessen can prepare a selection of cooked meats in a platter. These include sliced turkey, chicken breast, jellied veal, ox tongue, cooked local ham. If you wish these plattered or garnished please order well in advance as it takes time for our staff to prepare this for you. We prepare nearly 40 different varieties of salads daily ourselves which are all made in advance and unique to our shop (we make only for ourselves and don't buy any in), but buy in advance to avoid disappointment. Remember our Christmas display changes dramatically compared to our weekly display and lots of products that we pride ourselves in are not available. Don't forget to check us out!
