Alternative to M&S Christmas food?

As M&S are not doing their Christmas food this year, just wondering if there are any other retailer out there who would offer the same type of ready to cook product for Christmas dinner? Perhaps Donnybrook Fair or Fallon and Byrne?

I think m&s are not doing the pre-ordered because they cannot guarantee supply post Brexit.

But they will have in-shop Christmas food supplies, the level depending on transport logistics etc.

I'm hoping most are assuming no supply and then a half price sale Christmas Eve of surplus stock on shelves.

Avoca ?

Avoca or some concessionaire within Avoca are offering pre-ordered Christmas food as my brother mentioned potentially using them.

I would expect M&S to have quite a bit in but I wouldn't be looking to do a 23rd/24th pickup anywhere this year. Lot of time left for supply chains to go wrong.

Butlers pantry just launched their xmas prepped menu - pricey mind you!

We got a mixture of butler’s pantry and avoca last year (don’t ask) and we found butler’s pantry a good few steps below in quality, borderline terrible actually. Just my opinion. The turkey in particular

their collection/queuing system was also a joke last year.
