A BUTCHER got up close and personal with customers' Christmas dinners to show them the range of birds they can have during the festive season.

Rob Babij, of Taste Buds Fine Foods, in Adderbury, posed in front of some of the firm's free range turkeys which were on their way to the butchers.

The snap has now been made into a poster and will go in the High Street butchers to show customers a selection of the turkeys they can have for their Christmas dinner.

Judy Johnson, of Heart of England Farms, said: "We thought this was something the butchers would appreciate and that it might raise a few smiles among their customers."

The Christmas turkeys on show are raised on pastures in Warwickshire, fed on locally-grown grain.
