What Christmas dinner trimmings should I choose?

With a massive range of options for Christmas dinner trimmings, we recommend these traditional favourites: 

• Gravy – proper gravy made with meat bones and leftover vegetables and off-cuts and cooked over a long time cannot be substituted in our opinion.
• Sage and onion stuffing – stuffing does not just have to be reserved for the interior of a game bird. It can work wonderfully roasted on its own or as stuffing balls.
• Haggis – haggis is a very versatile ingredient that brings big flavours to the table. Try making haggis bon bons or croquets to add a little flair to your trimmings.
• Pigs in blankets – you can’t go wrong with pigs in blankets sourced from an expert butcher. Try glazing the pigs in blankets with a sticky sauce to add some sweet and spicy notes to the traditional Christmas meal.

How much meat per person for Christmas dinner? 

The amount of Christmas meat per person for a Christmas dinner depends on the type of meat. Here are our recommendations: 

• Bone-in meat (such as turkey or chicken): plan for 450-675g per person
• Boneless cuts of meat (such as beef or pork): plan for 225-340g per person
• Sausages or tenderloin: plan for 225g per person or 3-4 pieces for dishes like pigs in blankets
• Multiple Christmas meats: you might want to plan to slightly reduce the portion of each

For example, a 5.5kg turkey will comfortably feed 8-10 people with some leftovers. Consider adjusting based on the amount of different Christmas meats, appetites, if you want leftovers, and the amount of people you’re feeding.
