Whole Wild Duck
Whole Wild Duck
Wild duck season runs from 1st September to 1st February
Wild duck or Mallard is dramatically different to farmed duck. This much smaller and more richly flavoured duck is infinitely more interesting to eat with complex flavours. Due to the diet of these ducks being far more diverse and natural they have a rich and gamey taste that must be tried.
Wild duck is best roasted and like all game best pan roasted to get a good sear on it first which helps to prevent overcooking. All game has meat that is well exercised and as such needs care taken to ensure it doesn't dry out.

All our meat is delivered frozen.
We deliver it to you in insulated sustainable wool packaging that can keep it frozen for 72hrs. When you receive your meat please put it straight in the freezer. Even if it has defrosted it is ok to put back in the freezer as long as it is not warm.
We deliver it frozen for a number of critical reasons:
- Natures preservative. Freezing is one of the most ancient of all methods of preservation. We firmly believe that when frozen rapidly there is no loss of quality in the meat.
- Sustainability. By freezing our meat we can ensure there is as close to zero waste as possible. Our meat is frozen as soon as it is butchered in protective packaging that allows us to keep the meat perfectly for over a year. This is vs 10 days for fresh.
- Seasonality. Like vegetables, meat has a season. By freezing our meat we can select our produce when it is at its very best. Fresh meat butchers cannot do this and you can taste the difference in our meat.
- Better supporting farmers. For our farmers it is most profitable for them to get the produce off the farm as soon as it is ready. This allows us to support them better.
