CHRISTMAS AT THE SHOP
Come Christmas shopping in the country – easy parking and no crowds!
GIFTS AND DECORATIONS
Christmas at the shop starts quietly in September with the arrival of a host of gifts and a special selection of cards so you can browse and gather your thoughts before the festive season gets fully underway.
Candles, table decorations and serviettes help you plan your colour themes.
Natural garlands, tree ornaments and door wreaths are on display from early November, allowing you to personalise your Christmas and create a truly festive atmosphere at home.
SEASONAL FOODS
Cranberry sauces, gift packs of preserves, goose fat, brandy butter, chestnut stuffing, cinnamon stars and the ever-popular mince pies that look home-made: treat yourself (and others) to our selection!
You can make up your own gift hampers or ask us to do them for you. From single, personalised hampers of foods or lavender toiletries through to corporate orders for Kentish produce, we are happy to oblige.
CHRISTMAS MEATS
See our 2011 Price list and Information Leaflet
We can provide you with succulent beef, tasty turkeys, gorgeous geese and superb smoked gammons - there’s a wonderful range of Christmas treats.
Extra-large joints of beef, ribs-on-the-bone or rolled sirloins can be ordered in advance. (If the meat is to be hung for the usual 3 weeks we need to plan ahead to make sure we have plenty for everyone.)
Free-range bronze turkeys, produced in Kent, have a loyal following – many people remarking that they are the best turkeys they have ever tasted.
The gammons are supplied to us as a special favour by our farming friends in Dorset. Denhay gammons are cured in apple juice and herbs and the flavour is superb. (The smoked gammons are a special annual treat…so order extras and freeze them!)
Check the Events Diary for last-date ordering times.
