Richard-   "Myself & Ryan previously worked for one of London's biggest Game dealers, so have lots of experience with handling correctly, All Game needs to be handled & prepared differenly, ageing is different for each variety, with bird needing to be "Game Hung", This is not done in most shops, We also have the luxury of being able to have the pick from 1000's of birds each week, so you would never be dissapointed, even early in the season when good game is hard to find"

‘Game’ is the word used to describe animals and birds that are traditionally hunted for food. It falls into two categories: ‘feathered’ or ‘furred’.

Game is wild, natural and free range with a distinctive flavour.

It is also an economical alternative to other meat products, especially at the height of the season.

British game travels less far from farm to shop so regardless of how carbon footprints are calculated it self-evidently has a lower carbon footprint.

Choosing British means supporting British farmers whose work helps to keep the British countryside the way we want it to look.




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.
