Organic Whole Duck
Rich and moreish – an indulgent treat. 2-star winner at the Great Taste Awards 2021.
With its unique flavour and hearty texture, duck makes an indulgently rich change if you're cooking something special. The tender, dark meat feels luxurious and is robust enough to work well with warm spices and complex sauces. Then there are the added bonuses of super-crispy skin and plenty of flavour-packed fat.
All of our ducks are reared in an organic system and this low-stress lifestyle certainly influences the quality of their meat. A natural diet, lots of exercise and the ability to swim, dabble and preen means they’re fit and healthy. This results in meat that’s tender and tasty to eat.
Includes giblets in a separate package which contributes to the total weight.

- 1.5 -2.1kg, Serves 3
Poultry birds reared for the table live relatively short lives. We believe the quality of that life is directly reflected in the meat the birds produce. All of our ducks are reared in an organic, high-welfare system and this low-stress lifestyle certainly influences the quality of their meat. A natural diet, lots of exercise and the ability to swim, dabble and preen means our ducks are fit and healthy. This results in meat that's tender, tasty and wholesome to eat.

Freezing is the most natural way of preserving food. And as here at Coombe Farm Organic we believe in slow-grown, healthy food, a form of preservation that doesn’t need artificial additives gets a big tick from us.
It also guarantees it will arrive with you in tiptop condition - confidently delivering fresh meat would be much more challenging.
-
The poultry we sell has been organically reared they are free-range in smaller flocks than other birds, when the animal is ready it is slaughtered and butchered on the farm it was reared on so not to overstress the birds.
You will find any product ingredients on the relevant product pages.

If you cannot find the answer to your question and would like to speak to someone contact us and we will be happy to help.
While duck works perfectly with the fragrant spices of the east, the tart sweetness of stone fruits and even with chocolate, sometimes simplicity is enough. Try pot roasting a whole duck with cider, garlic, some sprigs of woody thyme and crisped cubes of smoky pancetta. Served with vibrant savoy cabbage and the creamiest mash this makes a perfect alternative for Sunday lunch. If you're tray roasting your duck, try gently cross-hatching the skin before cooking the bird at 160˚C for a couple of hours, basting it with its own juices from time to time. Then whack the oven up to 200˚C and let the duck sizzle for half an hour. You'll have the crispiest, tastiest skin ever.

This was delicious from start to finish - we had a celebratory roast, then duck salad, then risotto, the most delicious gravy and I'm now working my way through a very tasty duck soup made from the carcass as a lunchtime treat.

Delicious balance of rich taste, tender meet and crisp skin - one of our first and very enjoyable two households indoors meals - perfect for a celebration dinner and I'm still enjoying the soup based on stock made with the carcass - generous portions for 4 and three more meals with the leftovers (not including the soup) so good value too.

Very tasty and popular with children, I've found. There's a lot of meat on it; I like to cook it in a large casserole dish with the lid on, upsidedown for most of the cooking then drain the oil for gravy and cook it the right way up for the last...

We bought the duck for our Christmas dinner, it arrived as promised on the 21st of December well packaged and still thoroughly frozen. The duck was tremendous full of flavour and the giblets allowed for me to make a great gravy.

one of my favourite treat meats - this was luscious, yummy, moreish and made great stock, leftovers etc with every last bit. It was rich but not unpleasantly fatty and the skin crisped up beautifully. one of my favourite treat meats - this was luscious, yummy, moreish and made great stock, leftovers etc with every last bit.

Fantastic flavoured duck, reared under exceptionally high welfare standards have made Coombe farm our go-to supplier for future feasts. Although many ducks are sold as "organic" I understand that in many cases the ducks do not have access to water, which is essential for their welfare. So I'm happy to have found Coombe farm, who raise their birds to the highest possible standards (Soil Association standards) including access to water. And the taste and quality of the meat is superb.
