If you’ve gone to the trouble of roasting your own turkey and cooking all the trimmings, it seems a shame not to make your own gravy, too. It’s fairly straightforward (just be careful when straining off hot fat from the roasting tin); to get ahead, you can make the stock in advance and keep it in the fridge until needed. Makes just over 1L (about 2 pints).

We stock award-winning Salmon from Loch Duart, an RSPCA animal welfare-accredited company which follows rigorous, internationally-accepted standards for environmental management.

A whole Turkey is the perfect centrepiece for a traditional Christmas dinner. We offer a variety of different whole Turkeys; free-range or barn-reared, Bronze or White, each sold with the Rosamondford Farm guarantee of quality. We can supply whole Turkeys in a range of sizes, from 4.5kg up to 10kg in weight (enough to feed 17 hungry dinner guests).

With so much planning and prep for Christmas day itself, it can be tricky to come up with ideas for a Christmas Eve meal. We think fish pie is the perfect answer; with a few, good-quality ‘cheats’ it’s simple enough to put together fairly quickly, but special enough to mark the celebration. Best of all, fish pie can be made in advance (or bought, frozen and defrosted), giving you one less thing to worry about.

At this time of year, we tend to seek out fresher, lighter wines – zesty, fruity whites and rosés, rather than full-bodied reds – and, while it’s tempting to reach for continental and new-world favourites, it might surprise you to learn that there are plenty of wines being produced right here in Devon that’ll fit the bill perfectly. Read our guide of the best wines from Devon.

Do you have a special Christmas Eve meal every year? If you don't have a particular tradition, why not start one this year - it's up to you whether you keep it simple with a tasty soup or go all out with something spectacular, like a Greendale Beef Wellington!

A much-loved part of festive feasting, gammon is great to have on hand for serving at buffets, putting together hasty-but-tasty meals for surprise guests or just making downright delicious sandwiches.

We all have our favourite tried-and-tested ways to roast a Christmas turkey – this guide is intended as a starting point, to be adjusted to suit your personal preferences.

The humble potato actually does a lot of the heavy lifting when it comes to Christmas dinner – however your guests might feel about sprouts, peas, carrots or other veg, we’re pretty sure they’ll all be happy to see roast potatoes on the table! While everyone has their own special way of making roasties (and we wouldn’t dream of messing with much-loved family methods), we thought it might be handy to offer a basic guide to cooking them, for anyone who’s looking to refresh their skills or having their first go at cooking Christmas dinner this year.
