Turkeys for Christmas – FAQs
When should I order my Christmas turkey?
It’s best to order your Christmas turkey as early as possible to ensure availability – we sell frozen turkeys all year round. However, if you’re still unsure if you’ll be cooking this year’s feast, you’ll typically pick a Xmas turkey up a few days before Christmas.
What size turkey should I Get for Christmas?
The size of the turkey you should buy depends on the number of guests you’re expecting to feed. As a general rule, you should plan for about 0.5kg to 0.75kg of turkey per person (this accounts for bone weight and provides ample leftovers).
Can I Buy a Christmas turkey for Home delivery?
If you’re wanting to prepare in plenty of time, you can order frozen turkeys that can be thawed out closer to 25th December. We offer home delivery for Christmas turkeys so that you’re set to go on throughout the festive season.
Why Do We Have Turkey at Christmas?
During his time on the throne, King Henry VIII decided to swap out his traditional goose for a turkey on Christmas day. After this, King Edward VII took to the delicacy and popularised having turkeys for Christmas. Since this time, it rapidly became a tradition amongst people in Britain and hence why we eat turkey on the 25th December now!
