Our winner will be able to use their voucher to order their foods online and to collect their turkey on December 22 at the Banbury Hillier branch at Compton Road, Banbury.

Each bird is raised naturally for 26 weeks (compared to 12 weeks for most birds) allowing each turkey to grow slowly and naturally, developing a delicious layer of fat under the skin, locking in moisture and succulence – so there’s no need to baste. The result is award-winning: a richer and more mature flavour, buttery soft and with the crispiest skin.

Sizes range from 4kg to 10kg, feeding 8–22 people, and every turkey comes with foolproof cooking instructions, a pop-up timer, rosemary, and prepared giblets. Once the pin pops, it’s perfect!

The Copas Turkey isn’t like any other. Farmer Tom Copas’s unique rearing methods, learned from his father and perfected over six decades, ensures every turkey enjoys a free-range, carefree life on 2,672 acres of beautiful Berkshire countryside, guarded by a rather unusual but effective security team - 13 Peruvian alpacas, specially trained to deter foxes and other predators!

Cheeses are among many Christmas foods on the fantastic Copas Farms website (see article for link)

Many of Copas’ customers choose its ‘Christmas In A Box’ - a full-size turkey alongside a carefully curated selection of premium trimmings and accompaniments to go alongside the show-stopping bird.

Copas Turkey’s website gives a flavour of the amazing attention to detail the farm pays to providing the best foods for the best Christmas.

A look at their website shows the wide and tempting selection which includes their famous turkeys, geese, cockerels and hams, along with all sorts of festive treats, from smoked salmon to pigs in blankets, delicious cheeses and all sorts of other delicacies.

There are ready-made gravies, cranberry sauce, fig chutney, goose fat, sage and onion stuffing, Christmas puddings and much more.

Pigs in blankets - always a favourite around the Christmas table and available as one of the accompaniments offered by Copas

Copas Farm is a proudly independent, family-owned farm founded in 1957 in the heart of Berkshire. The story began when a young Tom Copas Sr received a gift of 153 turkeys from his father.

Copas Farm grew into a legacy of premium, free-range turkeys delivering Christmas spirit to families across the UK. Those 153 turkeys have turned into over 30,000 turkeys each year. Tom Copas Sr taught his children the secret to looking after the farm and now they are at the front of the family business, with the same knowledge and respect their father taught them.
