Tasting Days Information
We started our tasting days in 1999 when we became turkey farmers for the KellyBronze franchise, in the first year we only cooked the turkey for samples as we wanted people to know that turkey doesn't have to be dry, tastless and have the texture of sawdust. Since that first year we have grown from just one day to two days and giving you the opportunity to taste everything that resembles Christmas, most of the produce is produced locally, if not, then definitely British.
Our original customers children now bring their children to experience the family tradition of tasting good food for their Christmas Celebrations.

About the Producers
*KellyBronze Turkey & Leek pies are home made with our KellyBronze turkeys (obviously) and locally grown leeks.
*Lancaster Smokehouse was established on the Quay in Lancaster over 50 years ago before moving to its current home in Glasson Dock. The smokehouse is still a family run business producing a vast array of smoked produce. They still use the traditional methods when it comes to smoking and curing, with nothing being added to products apart from salt, smoke and time
*Burtree Puddings are owned and operated by Robert and Lea Darling alongside their dedicated family, daughter Sarah, their son Andrew and his wife, Nicola. I have known Robert and Lea for around 19 years and have watched their business grow from starting at the WI and Farmers Markets to International sales. Every product from Christmas pudding to sticky toffee puddings, Lemon Possets and Panna Cotta is crafted with knowledge, love and care and this has been shown in their success.
*MK Jams & Chutneys are all made by Hazel of Milton Keynes, she has developed her own recipes grows almost all the ingredients of her produce in her garden.
