Our mission statement: To produce a high welfare free range British chicken with the most incredible taste and flavour.

A unique and award winning proposition for the independent retailer

We believe that British free range English Label (formerly Label Anglais) chicken is a farming concept unsurpassed anywhere else in the fine food sector.

With its own ‘welfare protocol’, written jointly between the growers Tim Bailey and Charlie Woodford and Brand owner Rod Adlington, it brings together our common passion to produce a chicken that is truly delicious with a fantastic succulent flavour that delivers every time.

Grown to full maturity of 70-80 days using a slow growing breed of chicken carefully selected for its ability to thrive outdoors, and live for almost twice as long as commercial chickens.

This gives them a longer and happier life scratching around in the fields and this is reflected in the amazing eating quality of the bird.

Fed on a diet including wheat, maize and whole natural oats, the end product is simply incredible in taste and texture, quite unlike any other.

“We have been selling English Label Free Range chicken at Godfreys for over 15 years now and our customers have grown up with the taste of real slow grown birds and will not accept any other chickens now. Worth every penny.”

Chris at Frank Godfrey Ltd.
“It was the best £10 I have ever spent. I've never tasted a better bird. It's so exciting to have chicken of this quality on our doorstep.”

Gordon Ramsey, The Times
“The texture is wonderful - it also has good flavour. Its quality sings through with every mouthful. It's not really expensive. The trouble is that the chicken we buy in a supermarket is so cheap.”

Heston Blumenthal, The Independent
