Relax! Everything is under control with Laverstoke’s help – mince pies, Christmas puddings – it’s too late to make your own now and Laverstoke’s are gaining flavour by the day -stuffing, hams, pies, party foods and your meat of choice on the Christmas table – rare breed native Angus Beef or equally rare, Laverstoke’s winning Norfolk Black Turkey. As ever with the produce from Laverstoke Park Farm, you can rest assured in the knowledge that not only will your traditional festive food selection be both delicious and even perhaps unusual, but it will also have the guarantee of the highest ethical standards in provenance and animal husbandry. 
Slow growing on the farm’s pastureland – planted with 31 herbs, clovers and grasses ensuring a varied and nutrient rich diet – Laverstoke’s organic Norfolk Black Turkeys have pecked their way to their very best. They have a great depth of flavour with gamey undertones that single them out from mass production. If, however beef is your meat of choice this Christmas the farm’s Native Angus – one of the oldest and rarest breeds of beef cattle – really is a treat. So rare in fact, it’s only made available at Christmas.
Laverstoke Park’s hampers certainly have the wow factor. Choose from the Ultimate Christmas Day Hamper (serving 8 and priced at £159) – features the Norfolk Black, all the trimmings including Pigs in blankets, organic veggies, Christmas Pud with Brandy ice cream and even a cooked ham.
