Great Taste Judges 2022 – 1 Star Award –
A neat bird of a good size, with moist white meat and flavourful brown; the skin has little subcutaneous fat but has bronzed nicely. A sound choice for a medium sized family, with a good aspect and flavour that will not disappoint.
Great Taste Judges 2022 – 1 Star Award –
An attractive looking bird with a good colour to the skin. The meat carves easily, and the breast has a strong grain. Leg meat is dark and lightly flavoured, and the flavour of the breast is subtle.
Great Taste Judges 2021 – 1 Star Award (verified owner) –
Impressively large bird, with well proportioned legs and wings. The legs were moist and full of flavour.
Great Taste Judges 2021 – 1 Star Award (verified owner) –
A handsome bird with apparently sound conformation. The brown meat proved surprisingly resilient and chewy, but pleasantly gamey. We enjoyed the crisp golden skin, and the subcutaneous fat displayed some sweetness.
Great Taste Judges 2021 – 1 Star Award (verified owner) –
We were in awe of this beautiful golden bird. It carved really smoothly and we were impressed with every piece of brown meat we tried, which was incredibly tasty, as well as the crispy skin.
Great Taste Judges 2021 – 1 Star Award (verified owner) –
An impressive bird. The skin is beautifully golden and the breasts plump. We tasted both the breast and leg meat, and the skin, and found all had both good, moist texture and great depth of flavour.

Hi Caroline
I thought I would report back on our experience with the Christmas turkey.
Initially, we were a bit concerned about the whole delivery thing, having never had a turkey delivered and not knowing exactly what the precise plan was.
Of course, we needn’t have worried: we got a message on the morning specifying the delivery window and the bird arrived on time. It was beautifully packaged with its cooling mechanisms and patently fresh.
As it happens, circumstances dictated that there could only be just the two of us for Christmas, so 7.65 kg was way more than we needed. We have been eating it for days, and it’s still delicious. This evening we made the best turkey broth ever (and lots of it).
Actually, we could tell from the first fifteen minutes in the oven that it was going to be excellent. The aroma was unique and mouthwatering. And the flavour and texture was exactly what the odour led us to expect. It carved and ate beautifully.
We are in our late 70s and grew up in America, so we have seen a fair few turkeys in our time. This was the best we have ever had.
Thank you. Best wishes for the New Year.
