THE SECRET TO THE PERFECT ROAST 🥕🧄🍗

We wanted to share a little something we’ve been working on recently…

A new roast guide, with our recipe for the perfect roast chicken, the secret to the most delicious gravy (the giblets!) and a recipe for homemade chicken stock using the leftover bones, vegetables and herbs.

The beautiful illustrations were hand drawn especially for us by the amazing Ellen over on Instagram.

Look out for a copy at your local Sutton Hoo stockist, and stay tuned to see these recipes in action.

DM us your address if you don't have a local stockist and would like one of these!

Still not feeling the 'full on winter roast' vibes?
Why not give a Sutton Hoo Chicken a go this weekend, perfect for a lighter roast, easing you into a little more serious cooking over the months to come. Each one comes with a leaflet to help you make the most of these beautiful birds. 🍂

🍁Open until 4pm today, 9-6 on Friday and 9-3 on Saturday🍁

Not all ‘premium’ chicken is actually premium

Premium chicken isn’t about the packaging. It’s about what happened before it got there.

At Smokey Yard, quality starts with where we source from. That’s why we stock slow-grown, truly free-range chicken reared on Suffolk meadows with more time and space to mature.

The result? Better texture. Better flavour. Proper chicken.

📍 Smokey Yard, 133 Brockley Rise, London SE23 1NJ

Aldeburgh Food & Drink Festival is nearly here! 🍽️🌿

We’re so looking forward to being back at one of our favourite weekends in the Suffolk food calendar on 26th & 27th September at Snape Maltings.

We’ll be in our usual spot in The Larder, where you can come and find us, say hello and stock up on your Sutton Hoo favourites.

And if you’d rather taste the chicken than take it home, make sure you head to the food area and look out for the amazing team from Suffolk, who will be cooking and serving our chicken from their Suffolk Horse Box. 🍗

We can’t wait to spend the weekend surrounded by so many brilliant local producers, chefs, makers and friends - celebrating the incredible food and drink that Suffolk has to offer.

Come and see us!
📍 Snape Maltings
📅 Saturday 26th & Sunday 27th September

See you there! 👋 https://aldeburghfoodanddrink.co.uk/
