We are now officially taking Christmas orders and our order sheet is out and ready to go! A copy of the order sheet can be found on our homepage. Please email any orders to info@williamsfoodhall.co.uk
As ever, we will be moving heaven and earth to ensure that the Christmas fish counter offers the finest possible catch, including Lobsters, Oysters, Crab Meat, Scallops, Turbot, Halibut, Monkfish, Whole Wild Sea Bass and Salmon. I cannot emphasise enough that the best way to avoid disappointment is to order in advance.
We are also taking orders for the celebrated Judy Goodman Geese and Free-Range Bronze Turkeys, as well as Sugar-Roasted Whole or Half Hams off the bone. Please note, we need all orders for turkeys and geese by 4 December.
With so much pressure on your time at Christmas, why not let us lighten your load by supplying you with our perennially popular Chef-made Chestnut Stuffing, Cranberry Sauce, Turkey Gravy and vegetable side dishes, as well as our chef-made Christmas Puddings?
And let’s not forget the cheeseboard. We will have our usual heroes – creamy Colston Basset Stilton (sold either by the slice or as a whole Baby Stilton), wickedly good triple-cream Delice de Cremier, or ripe Baron Bigod, and Vacherin that meander off your plate. We have an interesting array of Cheddars ranging from tasty to punchy and for Christmas our Truffle Pecorino will be joined by Truffle Brie. We have a good selection of Goat and Sheep’s cheeses ranging from soft to hard, and even to blue. In addition to the cheeses, we have a wide range of crackers (including tasty GF options), chutneys, membrillo, and a truffle Honey that is to die for.
As ever, the deli will have a tempting selection of savoury items to make drinks party nibbles a doddle. Crayfish Mayonnaise and mini Croustades are a bit of a show-stopper, or you may like Findlater’s pates on mini oatcakes, topped with a chutney, or better yet (some might say) our Severn & Wye Cured Smoked salmon on blinis with creme fraiche and a dollop of lumpfish caviar.
Whole sides of smoked salmon, either sliced or unsliced, are always a show-stopper at Christmas – in addition, we offer the smaller Chalkstream smoked trout sides or our famous chef-prepared whole poached salmon fillet or side of gravadlax.
For any New Year’s Eve orders, please place your order prior to Christmas so that we can ensure your needs are met.
The shop is filling up now with a range of top quality Chocolates, Marzipan Fruits, French biscuit tins, Ginger in Syrup and Peaches in Brandy and other sweet and savoury treats, as well as our Richard Bramble fish themed tableware which make a wonderful gift. We are also taking orders for our famous Christmas hampers, details of which will be on our website soon.
Our deadline for orders is Friday 11th December. We always aim to email an order confirmation, so if by chance you do not receive this, do please do chase us up. If you’d like to add to or change your initial order, just reply to our administrative Christmas angel, Sarah, and she will ensure it is updated.
