A cockerel (sometimes called a capon) is simply a large, free-range chicken given the time to slowly mature and grow.
That extra time on the farm is what makes the difference: a deeper, more developed flavour than a standard fast-grown bird, without straying from the familiar territory of chicken.
It's a brilliant option if you want that classic roast-dinner flavour on Christmas Day but don't want the size (or the cost!) of a turkey. Free-range, properly reared on a local farm here in Lancashire, and full of character.
Available at 3.2-4.2kg (serves up to 6) or 4.2-5.2kg (serves up to 8).
Please note this product is for Christmas pre-order and delivery only.
