What Weight Of Roasting Joint Do I Need?

Blog • October 20th 2018

This is our guide to choosing the perfect sized joint for your Christmas table.

Broken into easy to use sections, each chart highlights the differences between bone in and boneless joints. The bone in joints are visually amazing festive centrepieces and come with the added benefits of roasting on the bone, for maximum succulence and flavour; the chef prepared and bone out joints are easier to manage yet still deliver truly amazing results with a little less effort!

With the larger roasting birds there will be a little left overs to make your favourite Boxing day treats.
