TURKEYS
Kentish Turkeys sold at The Hop Shop are from slowgrowing, old-fashioned breeds that provide a succulent
flavour. They are reared to full maturity on a natural
cereal-based diet, free from antibiotics and growth
promoters. The birds are hung for up to 3 weeks in
a temperature-controlled room and dry-plucked by
hand to ensure the skin becomes deliciously crisp
when roasted.
ALL OUR TURKEYS ARE FREE-RANGE REARED AND PROCESSED BY DEDICATED
FARMER JOHN HOWE IN TENTERDEN
John provides the very best in animal welfare and this
is reflected in the quality of the meat. In daylight
the turkeys roam grassy fields, play in dust baths and
perch on straw bales, branches and fences. At night
they return to the deep straw beds of their barns for
warmth and protection.
THE BRONZE TURKEY is closely related to the wild
turkey both in appearance and taste. In recent years,
the popularity of the bronze has risen dramatically,
with many people enjoying the rich, gamey taste.
THE WHITE TURKEY is a traditional choice with a
subtle flavour and lots of white meat.
Allow 0.5 kg per person for one serving or 0.75 kg per
person for one serving plus leftovers.
GEESE
Our Christmas Geese are supplied by Robert and
Sorcha Hodge from Gt Baddow in Essex. The birds
enjoy natural diets and have the freedom to graze
fields and to forage fruit from hedgerows and orchards.
This contributes to their unique and succulent taste
that makes them ideal for the festive season. All the
geese are slaughtered on the farm, dry plucked, waxed
finished and hung in refrigerated storage.
As an APPROXIMATE GUIDE: a 4 kg bird serves
4 people, a 6 kg bird serves up to 8 people.
DUCKS
British Free range ducks. One duck should feed 4
people.
PHEASANTS
Reared in the local countryside and naturally freerange! Available fresh or frozen.
GAMMONS
Our close friends, George and Amanda Streatfeild
from Denhay Farms in Dorset, have supplied us
as a special favour, with their superb Christmas
gammons for over 15 years. What makes the gammons
exceptional is that they are dry-cured so they can be
roasted. There is no need to soak or boil them!
The gammons are produced from British outdoorreared pigs and supplied as uncooked boned and
rolled joints, either unsmoked or smoked.
CASTLE FARM BEEF
The Hop Shop’s popular home-reared beef has an evergrowing reputation for superb flavour and tenderness.
The meat is usually hung for a minimum of 3 weeks
so please place Christmas orders as early as possible.
Some popular cuts such as ribs or fillets may need to be
supplied frozen to accommodate demand.
