Have had these for 3 or so years now this years was still very nice however the dark meat at the bottom of the joint not sure if it was duck breast was very tough had to remove this from the joint as it was to tough to eat but having said that the rest of the 4 bird roast as fine and up to the usual standards.

Delivered on time for Christmas with cooking instructions.
Cooked it on Christmas Day it was a very tender and succulent roast enjoyed hot and then cold again on Boxing Day. Well worth the money and will definitely have one of these for again.I think I had the 3 bird roast last year which was good but this one was even better.

Really appreciated the excellent website, ordering process and regular updates. Extremely impressed with the sustainable delivery packaging (cardboard and wool insulation). However, it was very lucky I was at home on delivery (was just about to get in the car when the DHL van pulled up) as it came a day early with no notification of a change in delivery date. Fantastic card detailing on how to cook and rest, and it looked beautiful. My only quibble would be that the netting that covered the entire thing made it surprisingly difficult to carve, and perhaps because we had a relatively big one (3.6kg) it was tricky to keep together on carving as there were many smaller bits of meat within that fell apart quite easily. It might be helpful to add tips on carving onto the very useful cooking card. But overall we really enjoyed it, and it was just as good on re-heating for roast number two (as Covid meant we had fewer guests on Christmas day than expected)!

I was anxious about ordering on line from an unknown company’, especially as Christmas dinner for the family was dependent on me! After last year it seemed so important to get it right this year! I needn’t have worried! Oliver in the chat room was reassuring. DHL delivered earlier on the given day than expected but not a problem as I was in. The instructions were clear and the quality of them was brilliant. The meat cooked exactly as per the instructions and carved easily. Everyone enjoyed guessing which birds were in the roast and suggestions became more hilarious as alcohol consumption increased! All in all a success and I would use this company again! Thankyou!

Contact from ordering to delivery of Bird in a Bird. Any queries were dealt with immediately. Cooking instructions on a lovely card too. Now the serious bit ..... it was outstanding, everyone commented on it tastes like turkey use to taste. We ordered a 4 bird roast and the next week i will be not welded to the kitchen sink. There is lots to eat. The presentation was excellent. Thank you Very Much.

I ordered 2 of these and the delivery was first class packaging great and perfect size for what we needed them for and great cooking instructions - more important was the quality of the meat which was first class and no shrinkage in it which shows the quality - first class all round so thank you

Glad I found James Alexander Foods. Customer service was great when I needed to amend my order. Delivery was done as scheduled and the packaging was very good. The cooking instructions were really helpful and our roast was perfect. We’ll definitely be back.

I have cooked 3 or 4 bird roasts on several occasions and this is by far the best I have had. It arrived on time, still very cool in the insulated packaging. Cooking was easy, timing accurate and all components of the roast were tender, moist and excellent flavours without being over-seasoned. The stuffing was lovely, pure pork with no filling and, again, delicately seasoned. I would definitely buy this again.
Also, I had to phone you on a couple of occasions and you could not have been more helpful.

The parcel arrived when it was supposed to, packaged beautifully. The meat was seasoned a little already, I added garlic and fennel butter. I used a temperature probe in the oven and this got to temperature at 2 hours, same as the instructions given by James Alexander said. The meat was for 7-8 people, we had 10 and with loads of veg etc it was still too much. Not complaining as there’s plenty for sandwiches. The meat inside was soft and tender, the turkey a little tough on the outside, as expected for for turkey! I left to sit for 2 hrs.
