Muntjac Venison is back on the scene.....

14 October 2015

And we are starting to get the first Muntjac coming thorugh now and we are offering haunches & shoulders. Muntjac are the smallest variety of deer hunted in the UK and this makes their haunches and shoulders relatively acessible for households - a haunch will probably feed 4 people, a shoulder 2 pe

  

  

Muntjac are quite a serious nuisance in the countryside - their numbers having grown rapidly since escaping from Woburn Abbey in 1925 (they were originally from Asia) to the point where they are probably the most common deer we have. The meat is flavoursome and well worth trying - either diced & stewed, or roasted whole.
