Description
Nutritional Info
Cooking Instructions

Our traditionally reared geese roam grassy paddocks and fields and are reared on a natural diet to full adult maturity, just like our turkeys.

Small feeds 4 - 6 people. Medium feeds 6 - 8 people. Large feeds 8 - 10 people.

100% free range goose.

As soon as you get your goose, remove all packaging and store in a refrigerator. The giblets will come to you vacuumed packed and they should also be stored in the refrigerator.
Remove the goose from the fridge, 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 to stuff the cavity as this will hinder the proper cooking of the goose but you may choose to put an apple or peeled onion inside.
Sprinkle the goose with salt and pepper, and place goose on a roasting rack inside a deep roasting pan without foil. Place goose in a pre-heated oven 180ºC/160ºFan/350ºF/Gas Mark 4. After 30 minutes prick skin alongside each breast to release some of the juices.
Allow 35 minutes per kg for cooking. The delicate texture of the goose is easily spoiled by over cooking. As individual oven temperatures vary it is advisable to test the bird between two thirds to three quarters through the cooking time. Prick the breast and thigh and if the juices run clear then the goose is cooked and should be removed from the oven and rested prior to carving. If the juices are still pink, return to the oven for the remaining cooking time and test again. During cooking you may choose to drain off the excess fat, which keeps well in a refrigerator or can be frozen. This fat is invaluable for cooking delicious roast potatoes.

Cooking Times (approx)

Goose

Posted by Caroline Barker on 28th Dec 2024

I have ordered a goose for at least 10 years, unfortunatly this years was a little disappointing, the flavour was good but the texture was tough, even though your cooking instructions were followed. However, I will still order next as I think this was a one of. Happy new year.

Just delicious

Posted by Louise F on 10th Sep 2024

Just ordered again for this year. Last year’s goose was so delicious that there was a fight over the leftovers on Boxing Day! Moist, tender, juicy, full of flavour and lots of lovely crispy skin. Delivered on time and really well packaged. Worth every penny.

The Free Range Goose

Posted by Mrs Diana Ivy Longshaw on 16th Jan 2024

A lot of meat on this bird. I have one every Christmas and this was one of the best. Less fat than in days of yore but plenty of flavour and very succulent.

Fabulous Christmas Goose

Posted by David Morris-Jones on 3rd Jan 2024

Picked up my Goose on 23rd December … it was very busy but there were plenty of staff to direct and offer help.. I used the neck and giblets to make Goose stock; great depth of flavour! On Christmas Day we were 7 and the the Goose was DELICIOUS! The stock was used to make lashings of gravy. Next day I broke the carcass to make 2 large batches of Goose broth with leeks and leftover veg. Will certainly be buying again for Christmas 2024
