Game
We are one of the very few licensed game dealers in this area. We have a wide range freshly available during the season. Out of season we always have selection of frozen products. Most of our game is shot on our own land or from local shoots in the neighbouring counties (usually the Vale of Belvoir). Our range includes:- Pheasant Partridge Rabbit and Hare Wood Pigeon Venison Guinea Fowl Grouse Wild Duck Wild Goose
Game Mix - ideal for stews, casseroles and pies
What is game? Technically it is a meat in its wild state which used to be
hunted. The majority of the game we supply is from the wild. Some (such
as pheasant) is reared for shooting, but then released into the wild.
Distinction is made between land or ground game (e.g. rabbit and hare)
and feathered and winged. Winged includes water fowl such as mallard,
teal etc. There is a further distinction between small ground game (hare –
seasonal) and large ground game (red deer, fallow deer, boar) A great
website to use for mouth watering recipes is www.gametoeat.co.uk We
have free copies of their recipe books in our Farm Shop. Game can only
be shot during specific times of the years and a basic guide to the
shooting seasons is given below. However, increasingly frozen game
meat is available year round.

Grouse 12th August (Glorious Twelfth) to 10th December
Pheasant 1st October to 1st February
