WELCOME TO PACKINGTON FREE RANGE MEAT
At Packington Free Range, we have a simple philosophy: what’s good for our pigs, chickens and the land will naturally be good for us and better for our customers.
It’s this simple philosophy that enables us to produce the most succulent, richly flavoured meat, often lost in today’s intensive farming methods. We know you’ll enjoy it.

PIP & SAL’S KITCHEN
When you’re a part of a farming family, you can’t avoid getting involved in the early mornings and late nights. So, it’s no wonder that Alec’s wife Philippa and Rob’s wife Sally are both keen supporters of the Packington Free Range values. They’ve become passionate about getting the most out of the pork and chicken Alec and Rob bring home, so here’s a few interesting and imaginative recipes direct from their kitchens.

Let customers speak for us
from 96 reviewsWe have bought Packington chickens for many years from a local supplier, unfortunately, this relationship ceased post Covid. However, we did find that it was possible to obtain chickens directly from Packington and have been more than pleased the service. The chickens are delivered, over night, in a well insulated box with freezer blocks and are in a good condition when they arrive.
First rate 5 star service and product.
I'm probably preaching to the converted but just in case you're reading this and you haven't sampled any of the Packingtons offer, look no further and make your first purchase. I've been getting my Christmas Cockerel for over a decade from Packingtons and they have always delivered a delicious bird. A must have alternative to the Turkey. During the year I often get a large chickens as well but on this occasion I just purchased the wings. 6 packs of 6 wings and they were fantastic. Unlike the small wings you get from supermarkets, these wings were a good size and absolutely delicious when seasoned with my Caribbean seasoning. I baked half in the oven and fried the other half. They were great value even with the postage added. As always. I'm a very happy Packingtons customer. Good luck and happy eating.
This is a fine-looking bird, with beautiful golden skin and tender flesh. The meat has plenty of flavour and texture, and it is tender and succulent, not tough. Judges particularly liked its distinctive character, depth of flavour and juicy, tender flesh.
Visually striking, this bird has a deep golden colour which is inviting. It would be a fantastic centrepiece because of its size. The meat, both breast and leg, is tender, succulent and melts in the mouth. Overall, the flavour is delicious with a distinctive taste. It would make a good alternative to turkey at Christmas,
This beautiful, burnished bird has gorgeous meaty aromas and a juicy, creamy flesh. The skin is crisp and flavourful with just a hint of delicious fat. The meat holds together well, with a pleasing chew and good meaty texture. It's a decidedly more complex and satisfying bird than the regular chicken.
I started purchasing from Packington over 10 years ago. I wanted to start cooking with good quality product.
It tasted so, so differently to the chicken breast fillets i used to buy from supermarkets.
At that time our two younger sons made what I thought was a profound comment regarding Packington Chicken Fillets which was...
"Wow, this is so tasty, it tastes so different"
They did not need as much Chicken because the quality is there.
For boys to notice spoke volumes!
We continue to buy chicken breast fillets from Packington and will certainly continue.
I will definitely not change from Packington!
I am really delighted with my order of Chicken legs. The size, and quality of the portions is second to none, and great value too. This is my third order, and I will be placing more orders in the future.
Very tasty with plenty of chicken . Not all bone
Had one of your chickens for xmas it was the juiciest and tasteist bird I had for years will defo buy again
I’d definitely give it five stars. It was a wonderful product, sensibly priced and it arrived exactly when you said it would. I cooked it long and slow, overnight in the Aga and it was a-ma-zing. Like chicken only much gamier. I’d like to think I’d buy it every year…and not just at Xmas. I’d probably buy it whenever it was available. In fact, I’d be very happy to become a regular customer.
These are good-looking, well-prepared wings, attractively meaty for a wing. The flesh is firm, sweet, gently flavourful. Skin is sound. We're not sure our memories serve us well enough to compare with 'how chicken used to taste' but we did enjoy the sweetness, juiciness and the ample flavour. Pleasing clean finish, too.
An Excellent tasting cockerel- thank you. From collecting to cooking and eating it was a very good experience all round. This was the first time we’d purchased cockerel and we won’t be going back to turkey.
