OUR MEAT · SEASONAL GAME & VENISON
Seasonal game & venison
Local game in season, and Red Yorkshire venison.
Why do we call it “game”?
It comes from the Old English gamen, meaning sport. Henry VIII and Elizabeth I were keen hunters, and the Forest of Bowland, just up the road, was once a royal hunting forest.

GOOD FOR YOU
Venison and a balanced diet
Lean, and full of flavour.
- Venison is low in fat and high in protein.
- Game is rich in iron, and contains vitamin E, beta carotene, zinc, vitamin B6 and selenium.
- Selenium contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress.
