Whole Wild Pheasant
Whole Wild Pheasant
Pheasant season runs from 1st October to 1st February
Pheasants are not a native bird but Asian yet are as synonymous as you can get with the British countryside. The sight of a cock hen is one of the special sights when out on a winter country walk.
With their slightly yellow fat and mellow yet powerfully flavoured flesh the Pheasant has one of the most special flavoured of meats. It really tastes just like a very good chicken. Pheasants powerful flavour takes especially well to rich and herbal flavours like thyme. Like all game birds its best to pan fry first and avoid over cooking to keep it moist.
Each wild pheasant serves 2/3
PICK YOUR SIZE
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.
