100-Day Chicken

The Ginger Pig

£34

Rich, succulent and incredibly flavoursome, an old-fashioned, slowly-grown chicken reared exclusively for the Ginger Pig by Richard Botterill on the Belvoir Estate. The birds are reared 3-6 weeks longer than most free range chickens, making for a large chicken with truly unbeatable eating quality. Each one is game-hung for a week to concentrate the flavour and create superb succulence and creates deliciously crisp skin in the oven. The price may put them in a special occasion category but you ll likely get multiple meals and the best stock of your life worth every single penny. Average weight

Where this comes from

The part other shops don't tell you. Three separate questions, kept separate on purpose, each with its source.

UK company
Registered at Companies House as GINGER PIG LIMITED, number 03971587. Checked 2026-09-06.
Means the business is a British legal entity, not a British-sounding name owned elsewhere. It says nothing about where anything is made.
UK operations
Not yet checked.
Means people employed here, or premises they actually work from. We keep this separate from the company badge because a registered office can be an accountant's spare room, and a company can be registered in Britain while everything it does happens somewhere else. Where we have not looked, we say so rather than assuming.
British-owned
Not established. Many companies file a statement rather than naming a controlling shareholder.
Read from the register of people with significant control, following the chain of holding companies. It does not gate anything: a firm can be made here and owned elsewhere, and that is worth telling you rather than hiding.
Where it is made
The maker doesn't say, so neither do we.
This is about the individual product, not the company. A British firm can sell things made abroad, which is normal and not a criticism. We would rather tell you which is which than average them into a score.
