Christmas 2010

Christmas is coming and the traditional butchers at Drings, Royal Hill, Greenwich, are standing by to create the most memorable lunch for you ever. Offering the finest choice in festive birds and meats for perfect roasts, serving a Drings' lunch will be the best gift you give on the big day.

We can create a feast fit for kings and queens with an Elizabethan three or five bird roast. Each bird is carefully boned out and stuffed within another. Popular choices are a pheasant within a duck within a turkey or partridge, guinea fowl and goose, but we can create pretty much anything – within reason. Although give us plenty of notice if you want a 10 bird roast a la Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall.

Judy Goodmans' award-winning free range geese look nice and fat in their Worcestershire fields after a lifetime of roaming free. We are the only suppliers of Judy’s turkeys and geese in South East London, so please order soon to avoid disappointment. It's too late to make anymore now.

If you’re planning a smaller gathering our Packington cockerels (formerly known as capons) are the prefect, tender bird for the table. A gammon joint is the must-have back up dish over the Christmas season. Try one of our smoked or green (unsmoked) gammon joint to boil and glaze at home. Or make like Nigella and cook it in Coke – it really works.

And a cold collation for those unexpected callers would not be complete without a Mrs King’s pork pie or special stand pie and a whole Alderton hams from The Country Victualler all of which you can order from us. 

Please ring with your orders for beef, pork and lamb joints over the festive period. We don’t take orders for sausage meat, sausages or chipolatas, but you can pick them up when you’re in the shop. All our sausages are now made at the shop – do experiment and try our seasonal varieties, you won’t be disappointed. 

We also have stocks of goose fat for perfect roast potatoes and condiments to ensure this most important meal is perfectly dressed with all the right accessories.
