Many customers also prefer the slightly smaller bird from Sutton Hoo, which is similarly given the freedom of fresh grass, fresh air and the time to mature; resulting is a superb bird. The meat and skin is remarkable as they have been hand-reared from day old chicks, and free to roam, forage and express themselves across large grass meadows. The birds also have access to roomy sheds for shelter overnight. After a maturing slowly, they are slaughtered, plucked and finished by hand on farm before being hung to allow the natural fats to set and intensify the flavour.
Alternatively, particularly for larger birds, we have barn reared St George’s.
