Delivery Information

Delivery day is 22nd/23rd December 2025

Here at the Cumberland Turkey Company, we are lucky enough to be able to offer delivery for just £6.95 throughout Cumbria. All birds are packaged in a protective atmosphere, sealed, and boxed.

Birds will be delivered fresh to your door. Payment can be taken upon delivery or via the website.

Alternative collection can also be arranged — please contact us if needed.

The birds are packed in a protective atmosphere in the box — “the modern way” — so you don’t have to worry about it. You will receive your turkey on the 22nd/23rd of December and should store it somewhere cool and dry.

Also known as Capons, our Christmas Chickens are a delicious alternative for those who prefer something different from turkey. At The Cumberland Turkey Company, we raise slow-grown, high-welfare Christmas Chickens - giant birds fed on top-quality feed and matured naturally. The result? A happier, plumper, and incredibly flavourful chicken with a sweet, rich taste.

Unlike standard supermarket chickens, which are typically just six weeks old, our birds are raised for around 17 weeks, allowing them to fully mature, and you can truly taste the difference.

Each Christmas chicken is dry-plucked, gas-sealed, and boxed with giblets included, ready to make your festive feast something special.

The Little Things That Make A Big Difference

Free Range

Our birds are free to roam and forage, enjoying a varied diet that includes plenty of apples. This natural approach enhances their flavour, adding depth and richness to every bite, as well as better, more natural muscle development than your standard factory-farmed bird.

Male & Female Geese

Geese are males and females; if you order a big goose, it’s probably a male.

Well Fed

Quality food starts with quality feed. We source our poultry feed from a local independent feed merchant and nutritionist, supporting local businesses while ensuring our birds receive the best diet. Combined with natural foraging, this approach results in exceptional taste and texture.

Dry Plucked

Unlike supermarket birds, our turkeys and geese are dry plucked, a traditional technique that preserves the skin, preventing the meat from turning dry in the oven as the moisture can’t escape.

With modern plucking methods, birds are submerged in hot water, meaning they cannot be hung. All our birds are hung, allowing them to mature, enhancing the quality and flavour of the meat. This method of plucking also preserves the skin, giving you the perfect golden finish when cooked—just as a Christmas bird should be.
