<h5>
For orders please call us on <strong>07789 687192 or 01858 565722</strong></h5>
<h3>Poultry</h3>
<ul>
<li>Fresh Norfolk &#8220;white&#8221; turkeys 4.5kg &#8211; 10kg</li>
<li>Free Range Norfolk Bronze turkeys 6kg &#8211; 9kg</li>
<li>Fresh Cockerels/Capons 4kg &#8211; 5kg and over</li>

<li>Free Range Greshingham Duckling 2kg &#8211; 3kg</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>The Three Bird Roast</strong></p>
<p>For something different, try a three bird goose or duckling. This is a par boned goose or duckling filled with succulent breast fillets of turkey and chicken with just a smidgen of &#8220;Ashley Sizzler&#8221; force meat. Easy to cook, easy to carve.</p>
<p>The average weight for a goose is 5kg &#8211; 6kg, duckling 2kg &#8211; 3kg. Please remember this is boneless weight.</p>
<p><strong>Three bird roast combinations</strong>:</p>
<ul>
<li>Boneless duckling with turkey and chicken fillets, homemade force meat</li>
<li>Boneless duck with turkey and pheasant fillets, homemade force meat</li>
<li>Boneless goose with turkey and chicken fillets, homemade force meat</li>
<li>Boneless goose with turkey and pheasant fillets, homemade force meat</li>
</ul>
<p>Or we can substitute the turkey for chicken or any combination. Due to the fatty nature of wildfowl we do not put goose or duck on the inside of the roast.</p>
<p>Force meat is pork based using our declicious &#8220;Ashley Sizzler&#8221; seasoning.</p>
<p>Other force meats (all pork based)</p>
<ul>
<li>Cranberry and orange</li>
<li>Chesnut and apple</li>
<li>Apricot and apple</li>
<li>Sage onion and leek</li>
</ul>
<p>Please note: <strong>orders for the three bird must be in before 7th December</strong> due to the preparation time required. These will be prepared by us using the finest produce and <strong>supplied to you frozen</strong>.</p>

<p>Steve has been plagued by people asking him to resurrect this delicious pie and we are delighted he has agreed to do so, <strong>exclusively for Ashley Farm Shop customers</strong>.</p>
<p>Weights: approx 0.45kg (1lb), approx 0.9kg (2lbs), approx 1.8kg and over (4lbs)</p>
