Product Description

Our traditionally reared geese roam grassy paddocks and fields and are reared on a natural diet to full adult maturity, just like our turkeys. Deliciously rich, the perfect centrepiece for your Christmas feast.

Cooking Instructions

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.

Christmas Goose

Posted by Genevieve Sabin on 31st Dec 2024

Excellent quality and delivery. We always have goose for Christmas lunch, but our butcher said he couldn’t get any this year because of bird flu (ie he couldn’t be bothered). I found Copas online and am so glad we used them. Thank you.

Absolutely first class, delicious bird, extremely flavoursome. Also the bonus of goose fat for roast potatoes for the next few months. Thank you.

Lovely goose but it is really easy to mess up the cooking; a lot less forgiving than a turkey. Copas instructions are good but it is easy to over cook. Check the bird 20 mins before your calculated time and, if it is cooked, take it out of the oven. Giblets make great gravy and stock.

Goose flavour was good, however there seemed to be a lot more fat around the bird, compared with previous birds from Peach Croft purchased before. It may just have been this bird but slightly disappointed, we’ve had Geese from Peach Croft for 5 years and I would say this was the fattiest bird we’ve had. Reply: Thanks for the feedback. Will pass on to our production team to ensure they remove more of the fat in future.

My first purchase from Copas and I am very pleased with not only our Free Range Goose 6.0Kg+, which was perfect. But their delivery service via local outlets which was extremely helpful and well organised. Together with the excellent recyclable package made sure our Christmas Roast arrived perfectly. Thank you Copas for a very Merry Christmas
