The Christmas Taste Test Restaurant

Get your knives and forks at the ready, Tom Read Wilson opens a very special restaurant which reveals what the nation really thinks of supermarket food: so you can discover which products to fill your trolley with this winter, and which to leave on the shop shelves.

From turkey joints to Christmas pudding; roast potatoes to pigs in blankets, we love to splash out on food and pile our plates high during the festive season. But which supermarket products really deliver on flavour and value for money?

Maitre d' Tom Read Wilson pits Britain's best-known brands - from budget to premium – head-to-head in his restaurant with a difference. Here diners get to try before they buy, then vote on their favourites, so you know exactly which festive foods to serve to friends and loved ones for Christmas dinner this year.

Diners in the restaurant all have a festive flavour themselves: hard-working posties and busy vicars who deliver Christmas to the nation, plus a gospel choir and hand-bell ringers who ding dong merrily on high at this time of year. But it's their honest opinions on supermarket foods that Tom needs to hear. There are plenty of laughs in the restaurant as they get stuck into tasting and voting for their favourite supermarket foods.

And in the kitchen, chef Mike Reid reveals the trade secrets that make these foods lip-smackingly good, and shares tips on how to prepare festive favourites to ensure you have a cracking Christmas dinner.
