A family favourite - ideal for stews, roasting and barbecueing
Allowed time to mature naturally
We take great care in selecting our Free Range Chickens only from farms where the highest standards of animal welfare are practised and that rear their birds in the traditional way - being free to roam and forage, fed on an additive-free natural diet, free from growth enhancers - and allowed time to mature naturally - to yield the most moist, deliciously flavoured meat

This special strain of Chickens need - and enjoy - a free ranging life - miles away from the life of intensively produced Chickens - and miles away from the texture and disappointing taste of those poor birds
A class of its own
The strain is a perfect marriage of the best of English and French breeds - to produce a remarkable Free Range Chicken eating experience that is in a class of its own
One of the best tasting Chickens in the UK
Only grain-fed for maximum taste and nutrition - and augmented with whatever they manage to naturally scratch out in the open fields and hedgerows - these exceptional Chickens are free to roam in this area of exceptional beauty - from dawn till dusk
Rich brown meat
Expertly cut from these Premium Quality Chickens - these two-jointed bone-in, skin-on Chicken Drumsticks are full of flavour with their very rich brown meat that retains its succulence when cooking
A very tasty and economical Cut - which can be marinated - or simply cooked as they are
