Game Workshop

Friday November 22 @ 10:00 am 1:00 pm

At Philleigh Way we have reared, shot, stalked, cooked and eaten game in all its various guises for as long as anyone cares to remember.  With a commercial shoot run here at Court Farm that tradition is still very much alive.  Aside from the commercially reared game such as pheasant and partridge, our fields are teaming with an abundance of wild game including Fallow and Roe deer, rabbits, pigeon, woodcock and snipe.  Philleigh Way truly is the perfect place to learn about game cookery first hand.

One of the main benefits of eating game meat is that is it one of the most healthiest meats available, very low in fat and cholesterol, game meat is lean, as they are wild and are able to walk and roam freely so do not store so much fat.

The fat that is in game meat is Omega 3. When you hear Omega-3, most people will think of salmon, however wild game such as venison has an optimum ratio of Omega-3 to Omega-6 fatty acids, making game one of the healthiest sources of good fat.

This workshop is designed to give you the confidence to prepare game animals for the table and create a variety of sensational dishes utilising the whole animal.
