Free-range bronze turkeys, the old-fashioned way.
Turkeys are the one thing on our Christmas table we don’t raise ourselves. So we went looking for people who do nothing else, and found a family that has reared bronze turkeys for Christmas for more than fifty years, across three generations.
Reared slowly, free-range
The birds are raised on the family farm from a day old. Once they’re off heat they roam free-range until they’re six months old, on a natural diet, at an approved stocking density.
Dry plucked, properly hung
Processed on the farm, dry plucked by the traditional method, then hung for ten days in the chillers. It’s slower and costs more, and it’s why the meat is so tender and full of flavour.
Inspected every year
Reared under the Golden Turkey Assurance Scheme and members of the Traditional Farm Fresh Turkey Association since 2021, with a detailed inspection of rearing and processing every year.
Everything but the sprouts.
- Your turkey, weighed and wrapped in greaseproof paper
- Giblets, vacuum sealed, for the gravy
- A sprig of fresh herbs
- A pop-up timer, so you know when it’s done
- A cooking booklet, for everyone who only roasts a turkey once a year
Same price, either way.
A crown is the breast on the bone, easy to carve and quicker to cook. Ours cost the same as the whole bird, because the legs and thighs come in the box with it. Braise them, curry them, or save them for Boxing Day.
A crown weighs about half the bird it comes from, so a 3kg crown comes from a 6kg turkey. Crowns are priced by the whole bird.
One price per bird.
No weighing at the counter and no surprises: you pay a fixed price for the weight band you order. All weights are oven-ready.
| Oven-ready weight | Feeds, whole or as a crown | Price |
|---|---|---|
| 4kg | 5 | £78 |
| 5kg | 6 | £84 |
| 6kg | 7 | £90 |
| 7kg | 8 | £97 |
| 8kg | 10 | £103 |
| 9kg | 11 | £109 |
| 10kg | 12 | £115 |
| 11kg+ | 13+ | £122 |
| 12kg+ | 15+ | £128 |
As a guide, allow about 800g per person for a whole bird, or 400g per person for a crown.

Collection from Kilnside Farm, Moor Park Lane, just before Christmas.
While you’re collecting the bird, pick up a mulled cider pack. It does the rest of Christmas on its own.
