Are You Bernard or Bernadette? Get a FREE Turkey From Iceland In Time for Christmas

by Naomi Willis · updated 11 December 2019

If you’re lucky enough to share your name with a famous poultry brand, you can land a free turkey from Iceland this year.

Free turkey

Whether you’re on a tight budget or you just like a freebie, you may be able to sort out your Christmas Day dinner (plus leftovers!).

Iceland gives free turkeys to anyone who shares their name with the famous poultry brand.

So, head to your local Iceland if you are called Bernard Matthews or Bernadette Matthews.

Just show your ID (passport or driving licence), then walk out with a Bernard Matthews Golden Norfolk Basted Turkey Crown. It’s free!

It may be a long shot, but if you are Bernard or Bernadette, you have 17 December to get your turkey or until stocks last.

This offer runs in UK Iceland stores only (sorry, online shoppers), and you can only claim one per person.

For any Bernards or Bernadettes reading, you cannot get your freebie from Food Warehouse or The Range stores that stock Iceland food.

Cheap turkey for everyone else

You can still get a deal even if you’re not Bernard or Bernadette.

Iceland has reduced the cost of their Bernard Matthews Golden Norfolk Basted Turkey Crown from £15 to £10 as part of their seven-day deal.

The crown weighs between 2kg and 3kg and can serve 6 – 10 portions.

The price drop makes the Iceland turkey can get you a saving of £8.71 compared with a Morrisons alternative.

It’s cheaper than other supermarkets too (prices as of 12 December), with Tesco selling a similar size turkey for £12 and Sainsbury’s selling their turkey at £12.50.

Aldi is selling a turkey crown for £13.49 (was £13.99), and Lidl is selling theirs at £13.99, so you know you’re getting a reasonable price.

You can only get the turkey from Iceland at the reduced price until 17 December 2019.

Make sure to get some room in the freezer, but set a reminder on your alarm to start defrosting your turkey on Christmas Eve.

Is it worth changing your name?

Probably not.

While £10 is a decent saving on your turkey (imagine how many pigs in blankets you could buy instead), changing your name legally via deed poll would cost more and would take too long.

I checked and looked into how much it costs to change your name!
