The Hairy Bikers have their sights set on creating a northern festive feast for their families. Dave and Si both feel it has been far too long since their families have been together around one table, so they hatch a plan. The Bikers find a local base to cook and host the party, and then ride the Pennines from top to bottom to be inspired by the best food artisans and producers around. They then create a Christmas dinner using the ingredients they have found.
