Your Roast Dinner Shopping List
| Food | Quantity to buy / prepare |

Shopping guidance: Quantities are approximate raw weights unless stated otherwise. Meat weights account for typical cooking shrinkage; whole chicken includes bones. Check packaging and serving preferences.
Food safety: Cooking times are not calculated here. Follow suitable recipes and check safe core temperatures, especially for poultry and rolled joints. Keep raw meat separate from ready-to-eat foods.
These are planning estimates for a UK-style roast dinner, not guaranteed serving sizes. Children's appetites and bone-in joint yields vary.
