I am used to using weights in lbs, how do I convert from kgs to lbs?
We totally understand! We recommend using an online weight convertor to help you out. Here's one to try (note - this will take you to another website).
I can't see what I want on your menu, what do I do?
We are unable to provide any custom choices on our site currently. Our online store includes a range of premium Festive meal products for you to pre-order. The menu is adjusted dependent on product availability. Our full range can be found in-store for immediate collection or delivery within 4 miles of our store. You can also shop with us on Deliveroo if you live near one of our stores.
How is the food packaged?
Most items (apart from wine) in your order are refrigerated, so they will be cold when delivered or picked up. Keep refrigerated until time of use (cold food should be held at 40°F/4.4°C or colder). Be sure to allow time for reheating each dish before your meal. Many of our dishes can be reheated right in the packaging while others require a separate pot or pan. See cooking and reheating instructions here for details.
My turkey / poultry has got some quills/feathers still on it. What do I do?
Because we believe it matters how animals are raised, all our poultry is naturally reared and this means sometimes there are the occasional feather or quill. You can simple remove these with scissors.
