BACON WRAPPED
Baked Brie
with Smoked Honey
This bacon wrapped brie with Blend Smoked Honey is the ULTIMATE starter! Salty, Sweet, Savoury & Smokey, all in one. Always a winner.
RECIPESWEET & SPICY
Sriracha Fried Quail
Quail may seem like they may be small and fiddly. In reality, they’re very easy to cook with and also give the impression that you’ve done something elaborate 
Mains
As a butcher we’re always going to have traditional Christmas ham on the menu. Should you decide to glaze your ham, our Peach & Mustard Glaze makes it super quick & simple.
Roast turkey is another traditional option of course and we have whole turkeys or turkey breast roasts that come in different sizes to suit everyone.
The Bulman Grenache Rosé is ideal for this stage of the meal as it’s such a good all rounder. Not only is it possibly Australia’s best rose, this style matches well with most dishes. It’s simply a great food wine.
PEACH & MUSTARD
Glazed Ham
This bacon wrapped brie with Blend Smoked Honey is the ULTIMATE starter! Salty, Sweet, Savoury & Smokey, all in one. Always a winner.

Sides
Show stealing sides are always welcome at the Christmas table too! Again, minimal effort required with these recipes and many steps can be done days ahead of the event.
Pumpkin & Sobrasada
WITH HOT HONEY FETA DRESSING
This salad is so punchy and glorious and ridiculously simple to make. And Christmas entertaining is all about low effort, high reward.
RECIPESWEET & SPICY
Sweet & Smokey Carrots
Honeyed carrots are a family favourite from way back. We’ve made them a little bit more fancy by using beautiful Dutch carrots, smoked honey and smoked paprika. These hit that great balance of sweet, salty and smokey.
RECIPEDessert
We’d never forget dessert!
Tiramisu & Pavlova
ROULADE
A combination of two beloved desserts – Pavlova and Tiramisu, because why have just one when you can have both of them… together!
