From 24th-26th of November it’s Game Weekend in our Squires restaurant and we have a delicious menu in store for you!
Wild game is generally more flavoursome than farmed meat, and may be a little tougher, depending on the age of the animal. To counteract the toughness, it’s ‘hung’ after shooting to help tenderise the meat and encourage the development of ‘gamey’ flavours. The longer meat is hung, the more pronounced the flavour will become, but hanging periods usually range from two days (for rabbit) to up to 12 days (for venison).
Our Executive Head Chef Sean Melville has created a menu using great quality, local ingredients and then giving the dishes a modern twist!
Game is one of the most healthy meats to eat, minimal fat and full in flavour, it truly is the taste of the Autumn in the country!”
