We are sorry, we are no longer rearing Turkeys for Christmas.

HELP,  WHAT WEIGHT OF TURKEY DO I NEED?

Amount per person:

Hens are smaller than Stags, and in the past we have produced some turkeys that have reached over 30lbs in weight.  Great for people with huge ovens, but for most people that isn’t the case.  So, recently, we have only reared hens which should reach an average weight of about 15lbs – some bigger, some smaller.

The rule of thumb for buying a whole turkey, approx  1 lb (454g) per person plus a bit.

This should be enough to cover dinner and allow for leftovers to snack on throughout the evening.   Whether or not you would like leftovers also determines the weight of the bird which is why we would recommend you buy one large enough so that you have some leftover for turkey sandwiches, pies and curries.  Cooked turkey freezes really well too.  Our turkeys are great value compared to other meats and should be between 6.5Kg and 8.5Kg.

If you are used to ordering in Ibs and are unsure what size you need to order, please take a look at the table below. These weights are all for oven ready turkeys with giblets.

It is not possible to have a card machine for just 2 days a year, so payment should be
