Packington Free Range
At Packington Free Range we firmly believe that what is good for the animals and the land will naturally be good for us and better for our customers. This is the philosophy of our great grandfather before us and we believe passionately in provenance, sustainable and ethical farming which fuels our drive to create an environmentally sound and welfare orientated farm.
Our farms are in various environmental schemes, and we believe in farming in a way that increases regeneration and biodiversity, all having a positive impact on the land and on the animals. Regular surveys on our farms show that the number of different birds and wildlife species increases year on year. We have installed solar panels and use bio-mass boilers to help further reduce our carbon footprint. All of this allows us to continue to farm the land here, in Staffordshire, for generations to come.
It's this simple philosophy that enables us to produce the most succulent, richly flavoured meat that we know you'll enjoy.
Rob and Alec Mercer.

As described
It's a half chicken, so some of the weight is inevitably bone. There was enough meat for 2 generous salads and 2 sandwiches for us. Tasted nice, not a lot of water came out.
very nice
Very tasty when cooked right.
nothing special
Very lean chicken that roasted well but was a little bland and tough overall. Not sure I would buy again. Perhaps it fairs better in stew or soup?
A very premature chicken!
At the moment, I cannot comment on the freshness and taste of the chicken as the shop has only just arrived. My review is on the size or lack of size of the chicken half. It must be from a very small premature or stunted chicken! I ordered based on the size and quality of their whole chickens. This is the size of a quarter not a half of a small chicken. I got it at the flash price of just under £4 which softens the disappointment with a short bb date of 4th March but will no be buying again, based on size alone
Misleading
It says 850g however received 525g of chicken !!
Very good quality meat
I was glad I tried this pack. I don't really like buying a whole, large size chicken so this is an ideal portion. 850g could be split into two servings based on two people. That's what I did. The meat is so tender, fresh, almost no fat you can tell it wasn't reared very hastily. It tasted very good, not the ordinary chicken reared without TLC. It's worth buying it.
