Make the Festive Celebration Seamless With Railtown Catering’s ‘Turkey To-Go’ Packages

The GOODS from Railtown Cafe

Vancouver, BC | Railtown Catering is preparing their legendary Turkey To-Go packages for the eighth year this holiday season. Whether it be Christmas Eve, Day or Boxing Day, the much-loved packages will be available in both the standard full-sized package and a new half package for smaller gatherings. Railtown Catering offers a delicious solution to making the most of precious time with loved ones during these strange times. These heat-and-serve packages will be available for pickup and delivery on December 23-26.

The Turkey To-Go Packages feature a lineup of classic dishes that will satisfy everyone’s holiday cravings without the commitment to hours in the kitchen. The main event, fragrant and tender to the bone Sage-Roasted Turkey is served complete with all the fixings. This spread is one that’s sure to impress, diners can expect all the traditional sides, prepared to perfection. A fan-favourite side is Chef Dan Olson’s Dried Apricot Chestnut and Brioche Bread Stuffing, which delivers a fruity punch that complements the savoury stock-infused side. To finish, Pastry Chef Shelley McKenzie presents a decadent house made Pecan Pie complete with piped Chantilly cream.
