Brand
The Gressingham breed came about when the small but flavourful wild Mallard was crossed with the larger Pekin, giving a meaty, succulent duck with more breast meat and less fat. Remember, if it's not from us, it's not Gressingham.

Tasty duck
After reading the reviews I did hesitate, but purchased on a deal. Duck was moist and tasty, it fed 4 of us, but no spares :) I would definitely purchase again :)
Smelly and a fishy taste.
Very bad variety of duck. Very light meat. The taste is not great either
Delicious
Bought two because of a flash sale. What a bargain. Slow roasted for a few hours with 5 spices blend and ate in wraps with julienne vegetables. Everyone was happy. Will buy again. We actually had to freeze the second one because one was enough for 5 of us
Terribly smelly
I bought one of these ducks at Christmas and it was fine. The duck I have just purchased smelt disgusting. I was having guests for dinner so had to cook it as all my other meats were in the freezer. I decided to try it before serving and it tasted ok so I served it up hoping none of us would be ill.We all survived but I will never buy duck from Ocado again.
Very Expensive.
On offer at Asda £7.50 When not on offer still only £9 Tesco £9 SAME PRODUCT.
Plump and juicy
Cooked this on Xmas day exactly as the instructions said and added a couple of additional duck breasts to amply feed 4. It was delicious.
