Thank you to Packington. Their cockerel is a great alternative to turkey and fantastic value for money. The meat is so delicious and everyone at our table really enjoyed it. We will almost certainly be back
Absolutely delicious and a reliable cook. Great customer service with a quick reply to my question. This was our second year of a Packington cockerel for Christmas and once again we loved it. We’re spreading the word to friends and family.
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.
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.
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.
