I've decided that I'm going to go for quality over quantity for christmas lunch this year and am looking at spending £30-50 on a nice piece of beef to serve 5 and maybe have some left overs. I've heard rib is pretty good for roasting and was thinking it might be best to get it online as I can't really get to a local butcher.

Has anyone got any websites or other cuts they can recommend?

Thanks for the suggestions so far guys, keep them going!

Any tips for cooking the joint to perfection? I normally just season well, seal, add a little red wine, onion and garlic and whack in foil in the oven for 2 hours or so on a medium heat. I really should apply some forumala to cooking rather than just guesstimating times!

There will be plenty of red on the go don't worry about that!

I don't like my meat bloody but I do like it pink in the middle with some change in colour throughout the meat. I'm getting hungry now too!

Can't work out from the Ginger Pig website whether they sell and deliver online or not??? Hoping to be able to order it to be delivered a couple of days before Christmas if possible.

Pick-up not really an option, would add quite a lot to the price if I had to include a manchester to london train ticket in the equation. It'd almost certainly be cheaper to get it ordered from a local butcher than online, it's just a struggle to get to one when they only work when I'm at work!
