Whole Wild Partridge
Whole Wild Partridge
Wild Partridge season runs from 1st September to 1st February
Mildly flavoured and with a white meat, partridge are the game bird that would be most like poultry. With a large breast of mild flavour and smaller legs they are great roasted and served either off the bone or whole. Partridges are low in fat and super healthy but you need to be careful not to over cook them as they can go dry.
They are however wonderful tasting and the most 'approachable' of the game birds.
We only source French or red legged partridges as the English partridge is endangered as well as one of the most majestic birds in the UK.

Wild Partridge
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.
