What Are People Saying About Our Poultry?
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "The most flavourful chicken I have ever cooked at home. You can immediately taste that this bird was raised properly — the flavour is rich, deep and nothing like anything from a supermarket."
— Emma T., London
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "I roasted this for a Sunday dinner and every person at the table commented on the flavour. The skin crisped up beautifully and the meat was moist all the way through. Outstanding quality."
— James R., Edinburgh
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "The difference between this and a supermarket chicken is not subtle. The fat coverage, the flavour, the texture — all of it is on a completely different level. Will not be buying chicken anywhere else."
— Sarah M., Manchester
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Delivered perfectly chilled, beautifully presented and tasted incredible. The best roast chicken I have made at home in years. Worth every penny."
— Michael K., Bristol
"This Is What Chicken Is Supposed To Taste Like."
I have been cooking chicken at home for years and I genuinely did not realise how much flavour I had been missing until I ordered from Steak Society.
The Cotswold White is a completely different bird from anything you find in a supermarket — the slow rearing on natural pasture gives it a richness and depth of flavour that is immediately obvious the moment you start cooking.
The smell alone tells you something different is happening. The meat is moist, the skin is generous and the flavour carries through every part of the bird. I will not be buying chicken anywhere else.
— Emma T., London
"The Best Roast Chicken I Have Made At Home. By Some Distance."
I ordered the Cotswold White on a recommendation and I was genuinely not prepared for the difference in quality.
I have roasted a lot of chickens over the years and the standard from supermarkets has always been fine — perfectly acceptable.
This was not fine. This was exceptional. The fat coverage is generous and natural, the skin crisped up without any effort at all, and the meat was moist and deeply flavoured from the cavity to the tip of the leg.
My whole family noticed without me saying anything. This is now our Sunday roast chicken. It will not be changing.
— James R., Edinburgh
The Finest Free-Range Chicken We Have Ever Sourced.
The Cotswold White is a rare breed British chicken prized above almost all others for its flavour.
It is a slow-growing breed — raised free-range on natural pasture for significantly longer than a commercial broiler — and every extra week of that slower growth shows up on the plate.
The flavour is rich, deep and unmistakably old-fashioned in the best possible sense.
The kind of chicken flavour that most people of a certain generation remember from their childhood and have been searching for ever since.
Generous natural fat coverage that self-bastes during roasting. Firm, moist meat that stays succulent from the breast to the leg.
Matteo sources every bird from named British farms he trusts personally.
Each one is butchered in-house by his team and dispatched in premium cold-chain packaging the same morning it ships.
Approximately 1.8kg whole bird, ready to roast.
"The Cotswold White is not a commercial chicken. It is a proper bird, raised properly, and it tastes exactly the way it should." — Matteo

How To Cook Your Free-Range Cotswold White Chicken.
The Cotswold White is a forgiving bird to roast — the generous natural fat coverage self-bastes the meat during cooking, making it difficult to dry out if you follow a few simple principles.
Remove from the fridge 45–60 minutes before cooking.
Allow the bird to come to room temperature. Season generously inside and out with flaked sea salt and black pepper. Rub a little butter or olive oil over the skin. Add aromatics to the cavity — lemon, garlic, thyme — and you have everything you need.
Roast at 200°C fan
for 20 minutes per 500g, plus an additional 20 minutes. For a 1.8kg bird, that is approximately 90 minutes total. Baste once or twice during cooking using the juices in the tray.
Target internal temperature: 75°C at the thickest part of the thigh, away from the bone. A probe thermometer removes all guesswork and is the only reliable way to know the bird is cooked through.
Rest for at least 15–20 minutes
before carving. Resting is not optional — it allows the juices to redistribute through the meat and the bird to firm up enough to carve cleanly. Tent loosely with foil to retain heat.
The resting juices that collect in the tray are the foundation of an exceptional gravy. Do not discard them.
