As if the charm of Peter Ward and his wife Mary wasn't enough; as if the best selection of farmhouse cheeses and choice dried fruits wasn't enough; as if some fine home cooking in the restaurant wasn't enough; they have decided, in Nenagh's Country Choice, to dish out free hot Fonseca port and Christmas pudding during the month of December.

It is just one more reason to head for a shop which always has a magical Christmas spirit, a little trove of the scents and sensuality of the season. And, of course, you will likely want to buy some of that pudding, which will be available with brandy, real barley wine and with beef or vegetable suet. The puds also feature in the range of hampers assembled by Mr Ward, whose prices range from just under £40 to £120. Orders before December 18th to ensure delivery for the big day.
