Order

Order ahead, and know the price first.

Pick a cut and a weight and the price comes back from the counter list before you send anything. In by Friday noon and the joint is cut, wrapped and under your name on Saturday morning; weekday orders by the day before. Delivery within four miles on Tuesday, Thursday and Friday afternoons. The same form takes Christmas orders while the book is open.

It is in the order below; add your details and send it.

The order

Christmas: The Christmas book is open until 15 December: 56 days left to order a bird.

For delivery, or so we know roughly where you are.

Saturday orders by Friday noon; a weekday by the day before. We will say if it cannot be done.

Say the number at the table if you would rather we sized it. For Christmas: the bird, the size, and a slot on the 23rd or 24th. For a box: which box and the date. For wholesale: the business and roughly what you use in a week.

Nothing to pay until you collect, except the £20 Christmas deposit. Your details are used only for the order: see our privacy policy.
