Lu & Chris
Set Christmas lunch (included Prosecco, mince pies and coffee)

Ham and savoy cabbage terrine. Cheddar pole(?). Corn sauce.
Top terrine and a confused cheddar pole.

Butter poached turkey, spiced gammon, creamed brussels sprouts, parsnip/carrot mash, potatoes, cranberry sauce
A pretty assortment of sides, crunchy potatoes and two tasty slabs of meat. Perfect!

"Drunken" Christmas pudding with brandy sauce
Sadly, too much peel. Not drunk enough.

Failed on dessert. Still, best set Christmas lunch we've had!
