Whole wild wood pigeon
Whole wild wood pigeon
Wood pigeon are available all year round
With a rich and burgundy wine like flavour and a deep purple flesh that tastes of the woods it lives in, wood pigeon is a special bird. With a unique diet consisting of the berries insects and forage that is available in the woods as well as the crops from farmers fields pigeon is as natural as you can get. It is very unlike its city swelling cousin.
Wood pigeon are one of the most undervalued of all food sources in the UK. We had an overpopulation of wood pigeon in the UK and we should be aiming to eat more of them!
These are best served deep pink as the complexity and quality of the flavour really diminishes as you over cook it.

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.
