Free Range Christmas Cockerel with Frozen Pigs in Blankets

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’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.

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.
