Christmas ham
A Beechwood smoked ham is the centrepiece of our festive tables. Our Christmas hams come as whole rare breed hams, chump and shank half cuts, or traditional boneless hams. Our award-winning hams are made from rare breed pork from producers in Northern Victoria and along South Australia's coastline. We brine the legs, then smoke them over German Beechwood for depth and flavour. Our head chef can also glaze and stud your ham with cloves for $65.
Christmas turkey
Our Christmas turkeys come from Numurkah. Choose from whole free-range turkeys in two sizes, or turkey breast, either plain or stuffed, trussed and rolled with bacon, maple and sage. Add stuffing and condiments to round out the table.
Christmas chicken
A whole roast Christmas chicken is a great choice for smaller gatherings. We use Bannockburn free-range chickens, farmed locally just west of Geelong.
Christmas roast beef
Pasture-raised heritage Gippsland beef makes a flavoursome Christmas dinner. The trussed beef eye fillet and our Beef Wellington are elegant choices for smaller celebrations, while the standing rib of beef is a robust centrepiece to carve at the table.
Condiments, sides and hampers
Take the pressure off with our Christmas condiments and Essential condiments ranges, covering sauces, glazes, jus and dressings. For an easy option, our Complete Christmas hamper returns this year, and you'll find more in our Christmas hampers, Christmas starters, cheese and dessert and festive beverage collections.
