How Many?

All of our free range chicken comes from Castlemead Poultry, Heywood Farm, Radstock, near Bath. Originally started by his grandparents in 1940, Stuart is proud to be the third family generation farming at Heywood.

Castlemead’s free range chickens are slow-grown and are never given antibiotics, and live twice the length of their supermarket counterparts. From early morning till nightfall, they are free to explore the fields surrounding their houses, incorporating natural goodness into their diets to complement the locally grown and milled cereals they are fed.

We like to dress our roast chicken with olive oil, lots of garlic, a lemon quartered, salt and pepper, with white wine and chicken stock in the base of the roasting tin. If you want something a bit different, try covering the bird in a combination of spicy harissa, garlic and olive oil mixed first in a bowl.

The 3.5KG and 4.5KG chickens only will have been previously frozen and will be partially or fully defrosted when they arrive.

At night they retire to their houses for protection from the fox and a good night’s sleep.
