Thanksgiving falls on Thursday, November 26 this year. For anyone in Brentwood who plans to let a local kitchen do some of the work, the deadline that matters comes six days earlier. Winston Pies on San Vicente Boulevard takes changes and cancellations to Thanksgiving orders only until noon on Friday, November 20. Farmshop at Brentwood Country Mart needs 48 hours' notice on every holiday preorder. On Thanksgiving morning, Farmshop's pickup window closes at 11:30 a.m. and Winston Pies locks its doors at 3 p.m.
So the holiday really runs on the week before it. Here is how that week lays out, starting with the earliest deadline.
The countdown, in order
- Friday, November 20, noon. This is the last moment to change or cancel a Thanksgiving order at Winston Pies.
- Sunday, November 22. The Brentwood Farmers Market keeps its usual Sunday hours, 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., at 741 Gretna Green Way, according to the California Department of Food and Agriculture's market directory. This is the last market Sunday before the holiday.
- Monday, November 23, by 10 a.m. If you want Farmshop's earliest pickup slot, this is when its 48-hour notice runs out.
- Tuesday and Wednesday, November 24 and 25. Winston Pies Brentwood stays open longer, 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. both days.
- Wednesday, November 25, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. This is Farmshop's first pickup window.
- Thursday, November 26. Farmshop hands out orders from 8 to 11:30 a.m., Baltaire's buffet runs noon to 6:30 p.m., and Winston Pies closes at 3 p.m.
The 48-hour rule matters most because Farmshop publishes no calendar cutoff of its own. Your deadline depends on which pickup slot you choose. For a Thursday morning pickup, the notice period ends on Tuesday morning.
What Farmshop's table costs this year
Farmshop's 2026 Thanksgiving menu is posted on its Toast ordering page. The restaurant sits at 225 26th Street, #25, inside Brentwood Country Mart. Farmshop's catering site also still shows menus from 2024 and 2025. The prices below are from the 2026 menu.
| Item | Price | Serves |
|---|---|---|
| Diestel whole turkey, uncooked | $175 | 10 to 12 |
| Diestel whole turkey, cooked | $295 | 10 to 12 |
| Turkey breast | $160 | not listed |
| Snake River Farms ham | $180 | 10 to 12 |
| Aspen Ridge ribeye | $320 | 18 to 20 |
| Pumpkin, apple or bourbon pecan pie | $50 each | not listed |
| Flourless chocolate cake | $48 | not listed |
Having Farmshop roast the turkey adds $120 over the uncooked bird. For many households, that $120 decides whether the oven is free for everything else. Most sides cost about the same as each other:
- Potato purée and cornbread stuffing, $52 each
- Brussels sprouts, $52
- Haricots verts and roasted carrots, $50 each
- Roasted mushrooms, $53
- Gravy, $50
- Cranberry sauce, $23
The bakery list adds a baguette for $7 and four biscuits for $20. At those prices, a cooked turkey with gravy, potato purée, stuffing, one green vegetable, cranberry sauce and a pie comes to about $570 before tax. The turkey serves ten to twelve, but most of the sides are portioned for smaller groups, so a full table may need doubles.
Pies run on a different clock
Winston Pies Brentwood, at 11678 San Vicente Boulevard, has its own Thanksgiving 2026 preorder page. It doesn't take orders on Farmshop's 48-hour rule. Instead, preorder pickup times are set about an hour and a half after the shop opens, and every change has to be in by the November 20 cutoff. Its current ordering catalog lists full pies at $65, minis at $13.75 and slices at $9.60. That catalog is the shop's general menu, not a dedicated holiday list.
The holiday hours are the part to keep handy. On Thanksgiving Day the Brentwood shop is open from 9 a.m. until 3 p.m., and the posted schedule says "PROMPTLY." On Friday it reopens from 3 to 9:30 p.m. If you forget a pie on Thursday and remember it at 3:15, you'll be waiting until the next afternoon.
Thanksgiving Day itself
The holiday's timing comes from these three schedules. Farmshop's last pickup is at 11:30 a.m. Baltaire opens its dining room at noon. Winston Pies closes at 3. If you're hosting, the San Vicente errands have to be done by early afternoon. If you're eating out, the meal can run later.
Baltaire, at 11647 San Vicente Boulevard, is serving a Thanksgiving buffet from noon to 6:30 p.m. It costs $175 per adult and $50 per child 12 and under, plus tax and service, and reservations are booked through OpenTable. The spread starts with a raw bar of snow crab legs, Peruvian scallops, lobster cocktail and market oysters. The carving board has roast turkey breast, turkey leg confit, honey-baked ham, roasted salmon and beef tenderloin. Sides include sage and sausage stuffing, haricots verts almondine and Brussels sprouts with bacon.
For a lower price, Sirocco at the Luxe Sunset Boulevard Hotel is serving a four-course Thanksgiving dinner from noon to 8 p.m. It costs $95 per person and $65 for children under 12. Diners choose a soup or salad, a main of turkey, steak or salmon, and a dessert.
For two adults, Baltaire costs $350 before tax and service. Sirocco costs $190 for the same two people and stays open 90 minutes later. Sirocco is the option for anyone who wants a late dinner.
The Wednesdays before
Brentwood Country Mart has its own quieter version of the holiday built into November. Mart Littles: Gratitude Storytime with Diesel, A Bookstore, meets in the courtyard every Wednesday this month at 11 a.m. The series is run with Children's Hospital Los Angeles, and a book drive for CHLA patients runs alongside it all month. The Country Mart's events page runs the series from November 4 through November 25. That leaves two sessions after this week, on November 18 and on the day before Thanksgiving.
The last session falls on the same morning Farmshop opens its first pickup window, a few steps away. On November 25, families can drop off a book for the CHLA drive, sit through the 11 a.m. storytime and pick up the turkey before 3 p.m., all at the Mart.
Friday and the Sunday after
The day after Thanksgiving starts slowly on San Vicente. Winston Pies doesn't reopen until 3 p.m. A few doors down, at 11686 San Vicente Boulevard, is Burger She Wrote, the Brentwood location of the smashburger restaurant. Brentwood News first reported the plan in September, and Eater LA's openings guide, updated November 2, now lists it among the city's new restaurants, serving Oklahoma-style smashburgers. After two days of turkey, it's a different kind of meal, and it sits on the same stretch of San Vicente as Winston Pies and Baltaire.
On Sunday, November 29, the Brentwood Farmers Market is listed with its usual year-round hours, 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Gretna Green Way. That makes it the first regular weekend stop after the holiday, and it sits on the same calendar that started with Winston Pies' noon cutoff on November 20.
