Multi Award-winning Poultry with Exceptional Flavour

Slow grown & Free Range

Raised Properly on our Family Farm, from Field to Fork.

DESCRIPTION

Our Roosters are only produced for Christmas and therefore only available for Christmas week. 

Our Award-winning Herb Fed Free Range Christmas Roosters are an extra special bird slow grown to provide even more succulence and flavour.

Like our Turkeys, our free range Christmas Roosters are slow grown, fed a diet of over 10 fresh herbs and free to roam, graze and forage acres of Yorkshire pasture here on our farm.

We are excited to be able to offer a Christmas Rooster this Christmas - produced only once a year for Christmas Day they are limited in number. They offer a classic alternative to our Herb Fed Free Range Bronze Turkeys and because they are smaller, they can be the perfect ‘bird with taste’ for a festive family meal.

Herb Fed Christmas Roosters are individually boxed and come with Giblets (included in weight) for that extra special rich gravy, cooking instructions and a packet of fresh Christmas herbs, as well as a delicious stuffing recipe courtesy of Sabrina Ghayour– British-Iranian, multi-award winning Chef and food writer… and Herb Fed Supporter!

Herb Fed Free-Range Christmas Rooster

Looking for something a little different for your festive table? Our Award-Winning Herb Fed Free Range Christmas Rooster is a truly special seasonal centrepiece, available exclusively for Christmas week and produced in limited numbers each year.

Slow grown with exceptional care and reared using traditional farming methods, our Christmas Roosters are prized for their outstanding flavour, succulent texture and impressive presentation. They offer a delicious alternative to a traditional turkey while providing a memorable festive meal that's sure to become a family favourite.

Because these birds are produced just once a year, availability is extremely limited, making them one of the most sought-after products in our Christmas collection.

Slow Grown for Exceptional Flavour

Like all our premium poultry, our Christmas Roosters are given the time they need to develop naturally.

Rather than being rushed through production, they are slow grown, allowing the meat to mature gradually and develop a richer, deeper flavour with a wonderfully firm yet tender texture. This traditional approach produces a bird that's beautifully succulent and full of character - perfect for a special Christmas celebration.

Free Range and Herb Fed

Our Christmas Roosters are reared on our Yorkshire farm to high welfare standards, where they're free to roam across open pasture throughout the day.

With plenty of space to graze, forage and express their natural behaviours, they enjoy a carefully balanced diet that's supplemented with more than ten varieties of freshly cut herbs. This distinctive herb-fed approach complements our traditional farming methods and helps produce poultry with exceptional eating quality and flavour.

It's this commitment to welfare, provenance and careful husbandry that makes Herb Fed Poultry unique.

A Wonderful Alternative to Turkey

While our Herb Fed Free Range Bronze Turkeys remain a Christmas favourite, many families choose a Christmas Rooster for something a little different.

Smaller than a traditional turkey, a Christmas Rooster is ideal for more intimate festive gatherings while still creating an impressive centrepiece for the table. It offers rich, flavoursome meat with crisp golden skin and pairs beautifully with all the classic Christmas accompaniments from roast potatoes and seasonal vegetables to pigs in blankets and homemade stuffing.

If you're looking for a festive bird with outstanding flavour and traditional provenance, our Christmas Rooster is an excellent choice.

Carefully Prepared for Christmas

Every Herb Fed Christmas Rooster is individually prepared and beautifully boxed, ensuring it arrives ready to take pride of place on your Christmas table.

Each order includes:

  • A premium Herb Fed Free Range Christmas Rooster
  • Vacuum-packed giblets (included in the stated weight) for making a rich, flavoursome gravy
  • A packet of fresh Christmas herbs
