Free Range Goose

£11070

Just like our Turkeys, our geese are reared to full maturity, with access to grassy meadow, large pond and acres of woodland. They are fed a natural cereal, based diet, free from growth promoters.

For a truly traditional Christmas it's got to be a goose. Crispy skin, rich meat and fat that makes the most sublime roast potatoes. Few roasts are as indulgent - chef's kiss!

Our Properly free-range Christmas whole goose has a wonderfully rich flavour with sumptuous buttery fat. Each award-winning goose is dry plucked by hand and hung in time honoured tradition for 12 days to develop the intense flavour and incredible texture that we are famous for. You'll also receive a pack of giblets with your beautifully prepared free-range whole goose.

** Please note our Geese are not currently available for Next Working Day Delivery – They will be available from early December**
