Country Quality Meat has opened its Christmas order book in Nailsworth, giving local customers the opportunity to arrange their festive meat and discuss their requirements with butcher Paul Dowdeswell and his team.
The independent butcher is preparing a wide range of traditional Christmas food, from the main centrepiece of the meal to the accompanying trimmings. Customers planning a large family gathering or a quieter celebration at home can visit the shop to talk through what they need.
Christmas meat and trimmings available
The festive range includes English Rose turkeys and boneless breast roasting joints. Customers can also order gammon and hams, as well as prime cuts of beef.
Beef choices listed by the business include dry-aged rib, rolled sirloin and topside. The selection is intended to cover different preferences for the main roast, whether customers are looking for a traditional turkey or choosing beef, ham or another meat for their Christmas table.
Country Quality Meat is also offering several familiar festive extras. These include hand-linked chipolatas, sausage meat and pigs in blankets, allowing customers to arrange both the principal meat and popular accompaniments through the same order.
Orders should be placed in person
As an independent butcher, Country Quality Meat says it can cater for individual requirements. The team can also source particular cuts or products wherever possible, so customers with specific requests are being encouraged to discuss them directly with the shop.
A small deposit is required to secure an order. The team prefers customers to place their orders in person, so that the details can be checked and each requirement discussed before the order is confirmed.
The Christmas order deadline is Saturday, December 12. Customers who want to use the service should visit Country Quality Meat in Nailsworth before that date, speak with Paul and the team and arrange their order ahead of the festive period.
The business has framed its Christmas offering around the role of food in bringing family and friends together. It says the season is about continuing family traditions and making memories around the dinner table, as well as choosing the food itself.
Paul and Jack Dowdeswell are named in connection with Country Quality Meat. The business says the team is looking forward to helping customers prepare for Christmas, whether they are ordering for a substantial gathering or planning a smaller meal at home.
