    Bought ours from Asda for donkeys years. Always scrum-diddly-umptious.

    Especially when lovingly prepared by my better half

    we've had an M&S one which was nice - but the best one came from the local butcher - see if you can get one at a butcher near you - mine came with free sausages & bacon to cook on top of it !
  • Tried a few different ones but bought from ASDA the past few years really good value and tastes good too.

    We had a fresh iceland one last year which was pretty good (ordered from asda groceries but they chose to substitute our nice fresh turkey with some thin air)

    Got it on order from Sainsburys this year, though I'd imagine its probably a touch late to be ordering from the supermarkets now

    We have been getting them from Marks recently and they have been to die for, along with there bread sauce

    Its our one treat of the year where we shop in M&S, yummy

    and the £120 in sainsburys vouchers we have pays for the booze and nuts :T

    Have to confess I was a bit of a snob about it, but my MIL bought one and it was so tasty! We have our own every year now :D

    They had a good range of 3 bird roasts in there as well, looked lovely but Im not a fan of duck.
