what are the best farm shops locally and does anyone know if any of them are selling local turkeys this year (if turkeys are farmed locally....)

There's a turkey farm on the road north out of Ditchling village. You can go there this time of year and 'pick your own' so to speak, then they'll obligingly wring it's neck and pluck it for whenever you want to collect.

That's blatant swan-upmanship, that is.

I'll be having pheasant - probably a battered one (but not squashed)

My Boathouse turkey got up and left before I could eat it last year.

Boathouse may be good but they are HUGELY expensive. Nearly 80 quid for an organic turkey to serve 8 !!! Sorry, but times are tight. That's almost 30 quid dearer than the free range from harrisons and twice the price of M and S. I'm going back to Sainsbury's.
