An excellent alternative to Turkey with a buttery texture and immense flavour
These traditionally raised slow-grown male birds are bred for their massive size - and with a big flavour to match.
Can be slow-roasted, pot roasted or braised - and any leftovers are ideal for making curries and stews - while the bones make excellent soups and stock.
Juicier, bolder meat with a gamier flavour
The Free Range Cockerel is a juicier, bolder meat with a slightly gamier flavour which is quite simply - delicious.
Forgotten how good this bird is
We really think that people have forgotten how good this bird is - but demand has started to swell for this long forgotten, low and slow cooked tasty treat.
Distinctive richness of flavour
Able to roam and forage as their instincts dictate, they are fed a delicious mix of additive-free cereal coupled with a mixture of herb off cuts which makes mealtimes not just nutritious but also interesting as they peck away, morning noon and night.
Godfrey's Free Range Christmas Cockerels are matured for another 4 - 6 weeks in addition to the 81 days allowed for their Chickens which allows the bird to slowly and naturally grow - which adds to the more distinctive richness of flavour and moist and succulent meat quality.
The very best poultry
Reared without the use of hormones or growth promoters, our Cockerels are fed on a grain and Herbs based diet (sourced locally), and reared to exceptional high standards of welfare and husbandry, confirming our passionate commitment to give you the very best Poultry for your celebratory table
Slow matured Perfection
The Free Range Cockerels are then dry plucked and allowed to hang, in their entirety, in a temperature controlled environment until they reach slow matured perfection
Something more adventurous
If you are looking at preparing something more adventurous than a Roast - Elizabeth Davids rich decadent French recipes are an ideal place to start to look at classical ways of serving this long lost treat
Comes complete with Giblets
An excellent, juicy alternative to Turkey
Weight Options are minimum weights and could be larger
Available from the 17th December
