Product Description
Celebrate Christmas in true traditional style with a free-range goose, the original festive roast and one of Britain’s most treasured seasonal dishes. Frozen for convenience and freshness, our geese are raised with care on Copas Farm in the Berkshire countryside, offering a premium option for those looking to buy goose online.
Slow-grown to full maturity, every goose enjoys open pastures and a natural diet, ensuring exceptional welfare and flavour. This dedication to traditional farming methods produces meat that is tender, juicy, and rich with a depth of taste that sets it apart from turkey or chicken. If you’re seeking a Christmas goose UK families have trusted for generations, Copas Farm Shop provides the ultimate choice.
As it roasts, a goose naturally bastes itself, delivering succulent, flavour-packed meat with crisp, golden skin. The generous layer of fat ensures the bird stays moist and also provides the perfect ingredient for legendary roast potatoes – a hallmark of the festive table. Every part of the goose is celebrated, making it a deliciously sustainable and rewarding centrepiece.
This free-range goose for roasting pairs beautifully with seasonal favourites such as spiced red cabbage, apples, and chestnuts, creating an unforgettable feast. Whether you are reviving a long-standing tradition or experiencing goose for the first time, it promises a dining occasion to remember.
Choosing Copas means supporting sustainable British farming while enjoying a gourmet product crafted with heritage and care. Our frozen geese allow you to plan ahead with ease, ensuring your festive celebrations are stress-free and full of flavour.
Make your Christmas dinner truly special – order your free-range goose online today and discover why this traditional Christmas bird remains the ultimate festive roast.
Cooking Instructions
- As soon as you get your goose, remove all packaging and store in a refrigerator. The giblets will come vacuum-packed and should also be refrigerated.
- Remove the goose from the fridge and leave it to stand for 2 hours before cooking.
- The geese are trussed with a simple trussing band, which is best removed before cooking. We advise not stuffing the cavity, though you may place an apple or peeled onion inside.
- Season with salt and pepper. Place the goose on a roasting rack inside a deep roasting tin without foil. Roast in a pre-heated oven at 180°C / 160°C fan / 350°F / Gas Mark 4. After 30 minutes, prick the skin alongside each breast to release some of the juices.
- Allow 35 minutes per kg for cooking. As ovens vary, test between two-thirds and three-quarters of the way through: prick the breast and thigh – if the juices run clear, the goose is cooked and should rest before carving. If juices are still pink, return to the oven for the remaining time and test again. During cooking you may drain off excess fat; it keeps well chilled or frozen and is ideal for roast potatoes.
