Get yourself ready

It’s time for you to get you and your kitchen prepped for the big day. Over your three hours of cooking you will be making a roast chicken, roast potatoes and carrots, creamy leeks, homemade stuffing, cooked greens, gravy and possibly even Yorkshire puddings (if time allows)! We hope you’re hungry because this is a feast that will comfortably feed four and still leave you with plenty of leftovers to see you through the rest of the week.
