Thanksgiving is being celebrated on the 28th of November this year.  The history of Thanksgiving in the USA dates back to 1621 when the Pilgrims first celebrated the season’s bountiful harvest. In 1863 President Abraham Lincoln proclaimed it a national holiday. 

In the US turkey is the most common main dish of a Thanksgiving dinner. The domestic turkey eaten now is very different from the wild turkey known to the Pilgrims. Wild turkeys are native to the Americas and there are at least five subspecies that are still found there. The domesticated bronze turkeys grown for us by Philip Hunter, who also grows our geese,  are as close to the wild turkey as it is possible to find.

Our free-range Bronze turkeys are slightly smaller and slower growing than white turkeys and, as a result, are a little more expensive but the later maturity of these breeds does offer a richer flavour.

All our turkeys are dry plucked so you can create crisp and golden skin. They are also hung for 1-2 weeks to tenderise the meat and enhance its flavour.

All our meat is delivered using an overnight signed for courier service. These couriers are selected for their high delivery success rates but delays may occasionally occur. Please do not refuse or return any delayed delivery - our insulated packaging will fully protect your order for 48 hours from dispatch so claims cannot be made for deliveries received within this time period. We recommend choosing a delivery date at least one day ahead of when your order is required to avoid any potential disappointment, and stating ‘no signature required’ for further flexibility.

Delivery is free for orders over £85, £7.95 for orders between £20-£85 and £11.95 for orders under £20. Additional charges apply for morning and Saturday delivery slots regardless of order value. Large orders can sometimes incur a £5 additional weight delivery charge. This often applies to the in-fur products which have to be dispatched in two consignments when 8 or more are ordered together.

Returns & Refunds

We want you to buy our goods with complete confidence. We take great pride in the quality of our goods but if you are not completely satisfied with the meat you receive, please contact us, sending photographs, to explain what has gone wrong and we will endeavour to replace, refund or give credit for any defective goods (according to your wishes). You also have statutory rights to return certain types of goods, set out in our terms and conditions.

Please note that because small game is usually shot with a shotgun it is likely to have some blemishes, pellet holes and/or bruises. Our quality control process means that we filter out any birds with more than three pellet holes or 10% bruising on the breast meat. If you notice more bruising or pellet holes on your products, please do contact us attaching a photo so we can review accordingly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are your products supplied fresh or frozen? We often freeze our game so that we are able to supply seasonal meat all year round. Typically we thaw the meat for one to two days (depending on the weight/size of the product) in a 2ºC environment (for cutting and/or packing) prior to dispatch to you. Read more...

Can you tell me the ingredients of your stuffings and processed products? Yes, full ingredient lists are available. Read more

Do your products contain shot? All our meat in the game meat and game bird categories may contain some shot or shot fragments, as they are culled by hunters using shotguns or rifles. The only exception is squirrel, which is humanely trapped. In most cases the shot is not found in the meat, as shotgun pellets normally rest in the bone or the internal cavity and bullets usually travel right through the body. Shot is made from copper, steel, tungsten, bismuth or lead. For more information on the phasing out of lead, please read our blog.

How long will game meat keep for? All our products have a use by date on their packaging. In general products which contain minced meat (such as sausages and burgers) have a shelf life of 7 days whereas it will be 10 days from the date of packing for most other fresh meat. Depending on the courier and delivery schedules, the shelf life from the date of delivery for sausages/burgers will be 3/4 days, and 6/7 days for all other meats. Smoked products will have a shelf life of up to 21 days and most fish have a shelf life of 6 days (2/3 days from day of delivery depending on courier schedules).
