Eat Well, Butchers we shop at Christmas. Moen and Sons Clapham Common 5 Star Recommendation.
Moen's staff inside the shop
Our turkeys are a special slow growing traditional breed and are raised to full adult maturity (hence 5kg starting weight). Fully mature turkeys have the benefit of a deliciously dense meat, along with a natural fat layer under the skin which helps retain moisture whilst cooking – succulence without the need for basting! In December, turkeys are dry-plucked by hand & game-hung for at least two weeks in the centuries-old way. This enables the rich, traditional flavour to develop fully, ensuring the finest taste & texture for Christmas day.
