Going for Capon this year from reputable local butcher.

I try and steer clear of supermarkets and town centre type butchers as the meat is usually average. Our local guy has his own farm and raises his own animals, when buying lamb he tells me which field the animal was from.
your butcher is pulling your chain, they move fields quite often..
Thanks for that, made my Christmas that has.

A couple of yrs ago I thought we'd treat ourselves and have a free range v expensive jobbie from the local butchers who had a good reputation. Arrived to collect it plenty of Christmas spirit in queue (out of the door and down the street) chatted to a few friends too.

Looking forward to the thoroughbred fowl, lick shame it was dry and tough as old boots. irked

Back to Sainsburys this yr.

Local farm shop for us.

Got a full bird last year as I was cooking for the family, however this year its just me and the mrs so have gone for a breast roll. Not too bothered about getting loads, just enough for a good meal and some buttys.
