A delicious traditional Christmas favourite!

Fancy something a little different for Christmas dinner?

For many families, roast duck is a much-loved Christmas tradition, and our beautiful Free Range Ducks from Creedy Carver in Devon are a wonderful choice for your festive table.

Raised free range in Devon, these ducks are full of rich, delicious flavour and make a fantastic alternative to the traditional Christmas turkey.

Duck has a naturally generous layer of fat beneath the skin, which helps keep the meat beautifully succulent during roasting while allowing the skin to turn wonderfully golden and crisp.

Perfect for a smaller Christmas gathering, a whole roast duck makes a lovely centrepiece served with all your favourite festive trimmings.

Roast duck is wonderfully versatile and pairs beautifully with both traditional Christmas accompaniments and fruity sauces.

Roast until thoroughly cooked, allowing the skin to become beautifully golden and crisp.

Serve with crispy roast potatoes, braised red cabbage, seasonal vegetables and a delicious orange or cherry sauce.

And don’t forget to save the duck fat – it’s fantastic for roasting potatoes!

Important Information – Fresh & Frozen Duck Availability

Creedy Carver have allocated us a limited number of fresh Free Range Ducks for Christmas, so we recommend ordering early if you would prefer a fresh bird.

To make sure we can offer more customers a delicious Creedy Carver duck for Christmas, we’ll also be purchasing additional birds directly from Creedy Carver during November and freezing them ourselves.

Once our fresh ducks have sold out, we’ll be offering these frozen ducks instead.

These are exactly the same Creedy Carver Free Range Ducks, and by Christmas they will have been frozen for only approximately one month.

If you particularly want a fresh duck, please order early to avoid disappointment.
