WATCH: Northern Ireland takeaway serving up battered Christmas dinner

Or should that be a battered Brussels sprout among the roasties?

Park Avenue Takeaway in Lurgan has given the long-established festive feast a chip shop makeover, and invited customers to sample a battered Christmas dinner.

Owner Tim Dillon said: “It’s something a wee bit different.

“I saw one done in Scotland a few years ago, that’s where I got the idea.”

The Battered Christmas dinner includes battered vegetables – parsnip, carrot and Brussels sprouts – as well as a large battered cocktail sausage along with a battered Christmas pudding for dessert.

The non-battered ingredients are turkey, ham, stuffing, roast potatoes, Yorkshire pudding, chips, cranberry sauce and gravy.

Tim said: “The Brussels sprouts proved to be a challenge, but we’re happy with the end result.

“It’s hopefully something people will want to try.”

Tim said all being well it would go on sale on Monday, priced £9.95.

He said a portion of the profits from every battered Christmas dinner would go to charity.

He commented: “I wanted to do something for the community. It’s the same reason why I bought the chip shop, to give jobs to people in the community, to give the community a lift.”

Tim said the organisation he had chosen to benefit from Christmas dinner sales is PIPS – a charity which supports people having suicidal thoughts and helps families and friends who have been touched by suicide.
