We 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.
Had one of your chickens for xmas it was the juiciest and tasteist bird I had for years will defo buy again
This is a glorious roast chicken with real richness. The skin is golden and crisp, and the leg meat in particular is gorgeously moist and full of flavour. The breast meat is tender and has a firm texture that would be wonderful smothered in gravy. A real treat of a roast.
This is a beautifully presented chicken. The flavour of this chicken is rich, full and the judges could tell this chicken has had a good life, from both the texture and flavour depth.
This is a beautifully roast chicken that is juicy and deeply flavoured with a clean finish. This is delicious and would grace any table happily.
