Lovingly Reared

SLOW GROWN CHICKENS FOR EXCEPTIONAL FLAVOUR

Sutton Hoo chickens are lovingly reared in the heart of the Suffolk countryside, across 40 acres of meadows. The chickens are reared slowly, to the highest welfare standards and use traditional free range farming methods, to give you a chicken like it used to taste.

Why choose us?

  • We believe that slow grown, naturally maturing chicken develops a fuller and more succulent flavour.  

  • We use a slower growing breed of chicken, reared on average for 10 weeks. This is 25% longer than standard free range chickens and 70% longer than standard indoor chickens.

  • The extra time develops a fuller and more succulent flavour.

  • The chickens roam freely over 40 acres of Suffolk meadows where they are free to scratch, peck, graze on a diverse grassland, rich with plants and insects. The right environment is provided for the chickens to be able to engage in their natural behaviours – this is vital

  • We focus on high welfare; the birds live in small groups with shelter from the elements, in mobile houses that have no artificial lighting and are naturally ventilated.

  • As a result of the of everything we do on the farm no antibiotics are necessary

  • It is because these chickens have more exercise, are grown for longer and have a natural, varied diet that they taste so much better.

  • Sutton Hoo Chickens offer customers better flavour, better texture and less shrinkage during cooking.

What our customers say about us

“It’s the best, all of it. Flavour, quality, consistency. The skin is amazing with that lovely yellow tint and they have more fat which makes for the best flavour especially when roasting whole!

Growing up in Suffolk I had cooked with them before becoming a professional chef and have continued to throughout my career. For us at The Suffolk there is no other chicken we would serve.”
— Tom payne, HEAD CHEF AT the suffolk, Aldeburgh
“We use Sutton Hoo Chicken meat and bones for our Spring bone broth because of its succulent taste, great fat content and meaty flavour.”
— Spring Broth
