Festive Birds From Rumburgh Farm

“We are passionate about the way we raise our birds, giving them a quality diet and making sure they are free to forage over rich pastures and rest on fresh straw beds at night. We are proud to say all our turkeys are finished by hand and we take pride in using traditional methods to ensure the most succulent meat. And the most wonderful thing is that year after year we’re told ‘Our Christmas wouldn’t be Christmas without a Rumburgh Farm turkey’.”

Exquisite Vintage Pudding

“Everything is made from scratch. The eggs are free range, the bread is handmade. We use Cornish sea salt to make the dough and Shipton Mill flour. We pick Californian raisins and Vostizza currants. We soak the raisins and currants in a sweet sherry and feed our puddings with a Champagne cognac. Lastly, we add flaked, toasted almonds and candied sour cherries.”

100 Years of Port

“It takes time and care to produce the quality of our ports. The wine develops with age and has a life of its own, depending on the harvesting year, and how it is crafted. After harvesting, our ports are aged in oak barrels, acquiring appealing flavours from the wood together with the fruit. We hold the fermentation before it is complete with grape spirit or brandy. This leaves the wine with natural grape sugar and a ripe fruity flavour – something we are renowned for worldwide.”
