Now put your noodles onto cook for as long as the pack specifies, once cooked, drain and toss with a drizzle of the sesame oil.

Heat a tbsp of sesame oil in a wok or large frying pan until at smoking point, now stir fry your chicken for about 3 mins, stir occasionally until cooked and golden, now add all the vegtables and stir fry for approximately 2 minutes, add soy sauce and chilli sauce to taste . Finally add the noodles and stir well to coat with the lovely sauce.

Serve with prawn crackers and soy sauce.

The early mornings and the late nights have become a bit easier of late as we begin to see the real progress behind some super hard work (you can give us a bit of love for that). The beginnings of the biggest Roaming Roosters development since the development of our online shopping facility is well under way, a farm shop, bistro and education centre is appearing out of the mud! The pigs want to know why there are tyre tracks where there were once trotter trails but I think even they feel the excitement. With a proper trail, picnic areas and a turkey wood the new development is going to grip the local Pendle community tightly in its warm embrace as we owe many thanks to local people who have supported us so heartily. We will try and keep you posted with many different aspects of the development but for now…. We have new entrance and upgraded services on site, walls have come down, earth has been moved and new walls are appearing!! See the plan we’ve attached and if you have any thoughts, feelings or ideas about this we would love to hear from you!!

At Christmas time, we spend so much time writing lists, especially the kids when they sit with the Argos catalogue on their lap “I want that, and that, and that…” The adults however seem to forget 1 mightily important list and then they seem to remember 2 days before Christmas.. ahh! The food shopping list! Ok yes we know that top of the list is likely to be the new flavour of Baileys and enough wine to keep you comatose til Boxing day but your Christmas dinner must include some really important meat based goodies.

So with years of practice at recommending meats for the Christmas period we have compiled a list of the must haves for your family table this Christmas:

• Pigs in Blankets 
• Home Cured Bacon – perfect for Christmas breakfast
• Farmer John’s Lamb Roll – additional meat or a boxing day treat!
• Sausage Meat – make a super stuffing
• Free Range Turkey – did you think I was going to forget that?
• Ipad
• Rolex
• Bentley… oh I think these we may struggle with…
