Lynn Evans, 36, company director of sales and marketing for Stoke Golding, tried cranberry and sage & onion: "They were both really good. The stuffings do not overpower it, but add something different." 8/10
Chris Kellett, 20, barman, from Markfield, tried sage & onion and Mediterranean vegetable: "Looks really good and is more up-market than a normal chicken roast. Works very well. Recommended." 8/10
Ida Osbourne, 83, retired, from Markfield, tried: cranberry, sage & onion: "Nice and moist. It adds some interest to the chicken. Very tasty." 9/10
Ethel Millross, 79, retired, from Markfield, tried sage and onion and med vegetable: "More interesting than a normal roast. Really good. The vegetable one is really different." 9/10
Andrea Henderson, 45, telesales, from Hinkley, tried cranberry and sage & onion: "An innovative way of serving up a traditional dish. The sage and onion was good, you couldn't really taste the cranberry as much." 9/10
The manager's view, Zoe Dixon:"I think these would go down really well with customers. It is something different and with the three different stuffings there is something there to suit everyone. I think people would think they are getting something special with these." 10/10
