When it comes to the meat we sell, we like to know everything there is to know about it. With Christmas just a few days away we’re guessing that you’ve already brought your meat of choice for the dinner table, but for those who haven’t, we have some quality, mouth watering meats that will be an instant Christmas cracker!

Although turkey and goose are the more traditional options, gammon, capon and chicken still rank highly with our customers each year, mainly due to their versatility and cost. Whichever meat you choose, you’ll know it will be well received on Christmas day, Boxing Day and however long it will stretch over the festive period!

Here at Natoora we are advocates of ethical rearing and all of our meat has been expertly reared where the highest animal welfare standards are upheld. We love the festivities so much that we thought we’d give you a breakdown of the finest choice cuts we’ve received from our butcher this Christmas. Enjoy!

Turkey

Our Appledore Organic free range bronze turkey is raised on a natural diet with the freedom to roam in open grassy areas. This particular bird has a unique taste and texture that will certainly make a palatable impact this Christmas!

Goose

Goose is a real Christmas treat but easy to overcook as the size, density and amount of fat all affect the cooking time. Our free range goose is rich in heritage as well as taste and specially reared on straw and corn; containing zero additives. A must have table treat!

Smoked/Unsmoked Gammon

The great thing about smoked gammon is it tastes fantastic hot or cold, which is why this meat is hugely popular on Boxing Day. We also have unsmoked gammon for those who require a more subtle finish, but either way they’re both delicious seasoned with honey and cloves!

Chicken

Our organic chicken is always a popular choice, so why not make it your centre piece this Christmas? Like turkey it tastes great with cranberry and stuffing, or with thyme, rosemary and garlic of course.

Capon

Capons are becoming an increasingly popular Christmas Day alternative as the meat is very tender compared to other birds. You may have noticed that all the top chefs rave about capon, so why not bring a little something special to the table this year!
