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.

Lovely
I picked up the duck in a flash sale. Marinated for 24 hours, steamed and then air fried until deep mahogany brown and crispy. served with M & S chinese pancakes, etc. Delicious and served three of us with a little leftover. Will be buying again.
Smelly and mostly inedible day before use by date.
I cooked this two days after delivery, a day before its use by date. It was very smelly when I opened the bag. The giblet bag stank, and once opened had to be double bagged for the bin. I washed the duck before roasting to remove the fishy smell but even so, the legs and underparts had an unpleasant taste so we didn't eat them, and the juices too were not pleasant so had to be discarded. All in all very disappointing. The bird was a good size, 2kg, though bear in mind a duck has a lot of breastbone in it, but the date quality control needs to be better.
delicious duck!
Bought during a flash sale and followed their recipe for peking duck on gressinghams website. Wow! I cannot understand the bad reviews because it was so tasty, moist and flavourful. Would buy full price more regularly!
very large tasty duck
This was much bigger than the gressinghsm ducks I have had elsewhere, nominally 2kg but was way over. It was very meaty for a duck and tasty. I cut off the two large breasts and fried them rare and roasted the rest. It was all good, no problems.
Delicious
The amount of meet really does vary so knocked a star off but its never been anything other than delicious. Have cooked as a roast and as crispy duck and both worked really well. Great value when on offer too. Will continue to buy.
very little meat.
Bought for Easter dinner. Tough and virtually no meat on it
