They're truly free ranging having full access to acres of our clover-rich and pesticide-free pastures and are topped up with home-grown Wheat without any additives or growth promoters. Our geese are slow grown to a maturity of 6-7 months to develop a natural marbling of the meat, and a beautiful fat layer under the skin. They are dry plucked and game hung for 7-10 days before dressing. Everything they say about the crispy skin is true and the rich, dark meat is simply delicious. Comes with giblets, goose fat, cooking instructions and a pop-up timer.]]> Which sized goose is right for me?

There is a great colour to the skin and the leg meat is rich and sweet, giving both a good ratio of fat to meat and a lovely savoury, slightly gamey aroma.]]> Roasting Times
Cook for 20 mins in a preheated oven at 220C/gas 9, then reduct to 180C/gas 4-5 and cook for 20 mins per kg for medium-rare, 30 mins per kg for more well-done, plus 30 mins resting.

How to carve
Slice between the legs and the breast, then prise off the whole legs, pulling the thigh bone away from the body of the bird. Cut each leg in half at the joint between the thigh and drumstick. Slice the whole breasts from the carcass, then cut each into five or six thick slices. Serve with gravy.
