100-Day Duck

The Ginger Pig

£71.75

A majestic, free-range duck reared to twice the age and size of a standard British duck by Richard and Jo Botterill in Leicestershire. Sweet, tender meat with a wonderfully deep flavour, thanks to being reared to full maturity on grassy meadows and then game-hung for a week. During processing, the feathers are dry-plucked from the birds (rather than the easier, more common process of wet-plucking with boiling water) which is crucial for maintaining the integrity of the skin this is why it crisps up so beautifully in the oven. At certain times of the year there will be some stubborn feather qui

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.
