Local Brace Of Pheasants

Serves 4-6

£9.50

Our pheasants are sourced from local game shoots. We collect the birds straight from the shoots and then our butchers get to work on expertly dressing the 2 birds and preparing them for the oven.

The meat of a wild pheasant has a delightfully rich gamey flavour, and the meat is tender and juicy. Pheasant is not as overpowering like some other game meats and works excellently in a variety of dishes, such as curry’s, stews or just a classic Sunday roast.

Our brace of pheasant serves between 4-6 people.

Our tips and recommendations:

Pheasants, like most meats, should be allowed to rest before serving. This allows the juices from the bird to settle before serving.
Using a marinade on the pheasant before cooking will help to keep the bird moist. By using a honey mustard marinade, it infuses the game meat with a mild but definite flavour. To make the paste, mix oil, lemon juice, mustard, garlic and honey together.
For your condiments and sides, choose flavours that will complement the game meat. As shooting season is in Autumn, we suggest serving the wild pheasant with typical autumn/winter sides, such as roasted root vegetables and chestnut stuffing.
