Sourced exclusively from the Fountains Abbey Studley Royal estate, just a stone's throw from our Ripon office, this wild venison cut is comprised of two loins from either side of the wild deer, still joined and neatly rolled into an easy carve joint. This cut matches well with a port sauce, and is delicious served alongside red cabbage and roasted roots. With eye catching appearance for easy but spectacular entertaining, this lean red meat boasts rich flavour and makes for delectable seasonal dining. NOTE: May Contain Shot
A roasting joint deserving of the top table and a seasonal special not to be missed. Slow roast on a trivet of onion, carrot, and celeriac, to give the venison aroma while be sure to deglaze the roasting tray with veal stock for a fragrant gravy. Serve with spiced red cabbage, dauphinoise potatoes, and watercress.
Cook thoroughly.
About the cut
The saddle is cut from the middle of the beast, from either side of the back bone. This yields some of the richest meat of the animal, and requires skill to cut neatly away from the bone, before trimming the meat, and neatly rolling for a spectacular easy carve roasting joint.
About the breed
We'll choose from our selection of available breeds
It's good to enjoy venison, with its supremely healthy meat and lean quality, and we source ours from areas where deer management is crucial. Experts estimate there have never been so many deer in the UK, and with an absence of natural predators their sheer numbers threaten to overwhelm natural ecosystems. We source our wild venison from The Duke of Argyll Estate in Scotland and the Fountains Abbey Estate, which is just up the road from us in Ripon, North Yorkshire. The Duke of Argyll Estate is one of the wildest and romantic areas of the British Isles, while the Fountains Abbey Estate supplies us with wild parkland venison as their rangers need to control the numbers carefully. We typically stock Red deer, but occasionally receive Sika and Fallow deer.
