Christmas Meat & Poultry

All our Christmas Meat and Poultry is fresh and is prepared for you to consume either on Christmas or Boxing Day.

Changes to your order are made at our discretion and no changes may be made after 28th November.

Collection day is  23rd December 9 a.m. - 5 p.m. from the Christmas Barn at Rectory Farm. We close at 5 p.m. on that day for Christmas. Any uncollected Meat or Poultry will be frozen down for collection in the New Year.  If you need to collect earlier than 23rd December please phone and we will see if we can organise your collection any earlier.

We will always strive to pick the weight that you have ordered - please remember that these are not mass produced birds and you have ordered an approximate weight.

Our whole Turkeys will have their giblets inside in a bag for easy removal.

Our Turkey Crowns are not boneless.  They are the breast meat still on the ribcage along with the wings.

Our Free Range Bronze Birds receive extraordinary amounts of care and attention from the day they arrive as chicks, they are fed a simple diet of wheat and vegetable proteins - free of additives, drugs or growth promoters.  After roaming the grassy paddocks each day they bed down each night in barns on beds of straw safe from predators.
