Great British Game Week, celebrated annually in the UK, is a time to enjoy the rich and unique flavours of traditional British game. From venison and pheasant to rabbit and partridge, game meat offers an incredible range of tastes and textures, making it a cherished ingredient for hearty meals.
One of the best ways to experience the flavours of game is through a delicious, handcrafted pie. At Mud Foods, we’re proud to offer our Game Pie and Wild Venison in Red Wine Gravy, available to order online, making it easy for you to join in the celebration of Great British Game Week from the comfort of your own home.
All our wild game meat comes from South Downs Venison and Game in nearby Duncton, owned and run by Jack Smallman, who Christian has known and trusted for a long time. Their meat is top quality, locally sourced and what they describe as freshly-prepared ‘from field to plate’. We think you can taste the difference.
Why Celebrate Great British Game Week?
Great British Game Week is a celebration of the country’s game meat heritage, offering an opportunity to appreciate both traditional and modern game recipes. The week is organised to highlight the benefits of sustainable game farming, promote local producers, and introduce more people to the unique, rich flavours that game meat offers. Here are a few reasons why game meat is worth celebrating:
A Unique Flavour Experience:
Game meats like venison, pheasant, and rabbit offer distinct, bold flavours that differ from standard cuts of beef, pork, or chicken. These flavours are perfect for hearty dishes, particularly during the colder months.
Sustainability:
Game meat is often more sustainable than conventional farming, as it relies on free-range and wild animals that contribute to balanced ecosystems. This makes it a more environmentally friendly choice for meat lovers.
Rich Nutritional Profile:
Game meats are generally leaner and higher in protein compared to other meats. They’re packed with essential nutrients like iron, zinc, and B vitamins, making them a great addition to any diet.
