Venison burgers Reared by Tony Bennett at Chilton Deer Farm, Tiverton

£8.75 / x4, 400g

About

Fresh organic venison, reared free-range on West Country farms, and hand-shaped into luxuriously meaty patties in our own butchery.

Venison has a strong, gamey flavour and aroma. These are a great alternative to a beef burger if you saw too many over the summer! We don’t add salt to the mix, as this has been found to break down the meat proteins and ruin the texture; instead, these perfect patties are pure venison, for the tenderest, juiciest mouthful possible.

Sometimes you may notice that your venison looks a little brown. Don’t worry – this is perfectly natural and safe! Red meat contains a protein called myoglobin, which goes brown when it meets oxygen. Venison contains more myoglobin than beef, so it goes brown much faster. It doesn’t mean that the meat isn’t fresh, or affect its flavour at all.

Delivered in insulated packaging to keep cool on your doorstep. Minimum meat order £15 to cover the cost of the packaging.

How to prepare

These patties don’t contain any seasoning, so sprinkle with salt and pepper generously before cooking, just as you would with a steak. Fry or BBQ on a medium-high heat for 3-4 mins a side, until nicely browned and cooked through. Leave to rest for a few minutes before building your perfect burger.

Please be aware that our venison may occasionally contain bullet fragments. The roaming deer are culled quickly and humanely via gunshot (preventing the stress of being transported to an abattoir). On rare occasions, a fragment of a bullet can ricochet into the carcass. If you do find one, please discard the meat and get in touch with us.
