It's Christmas

It’s never too late to organise your Christmas table, but now is a pretty good time to get on with it. We will be closing our Christmas order books on 15th December, but this is Meat London, of course we have plenty left for those who choose to shop late.

Our fabulous Turkeys from John Howe, Heron’s Farm and Salix Farm are looking delicious. Geese, Cockerels and Ducks are plentiful, and looking amazing. There is still time to order Game birds and large Quail, Guinea Fowl and Rolled Turkey Roasts.

The Christmas table wouldn’t be ready without a Cooked Ham. We have plenty of Gammon, smoked and un-smoked, for those who want to cook their own, or we have cooked Honey Roast Hams if you are a bit ‘time challenged’.

Beef Roasts, Pork Roasts and Lamb of every persuasion are plentiful. I much prefer to make my Beef Wellington from the Chateaubriand, but we have centre-cut Fillet for those who want it. I saw the show stopping Beef Ribs being prepared this week. Just add Roast Potatoes, Yorkshires and lashings of Gravy!

Peace to all mankind

Do you remember, I started the November Newsletter by highlighting Abe Faraway, the young man who won our very first Meat NW5 Easter painting competition? Well, I was very quickly reprimanded for overlooking the delightful Martha Newman, who, at 8 years of age, won the Stokey Pokey Sausage competition with her delicious Pork, Quince and Gorgonzola sausage. Martha also went on to join our team this summer, at Meat N16. Martha is a keen rower, and spends much of her time on the water during term time. However, she will be back to help us through the Christmas period. How lovely, and how lucky we are …

Champagne Season

Whilst we never aim to be a gift shop, there can be no doubt that we have some great gift ideas this year. Headlining is our fabulous new Meat London Champagne. We have teamed up with Pierre Mignon, from the village of Le Breuil, to produce the first bottles to carry our name. It’s delicious and a lot of fun as the party season swings into motion. Give it a go. Gessica has also taken on a trio of fabulous Riojas, including a Crianza, a Tempranillo and a Reserva, packaged in an attractive carry box. The shops have an ever growing selection of fabulous Ports and Sherries, and we have recently taken stock of a delicious Limoncello and a Meloncello.
