Ragley Butchers Are Nominated for Best Game Butcher
We are delighted to have been nominated in the Best Game Butcher category at the Eat Game Awards 2025.
These awards celebrate and champion businesses working to bring game products to our tables. Game meat is extremely versatile, and offers a range of health benefits over many mainstream meats – often lower in fat, cholesterol and calories, and full of additional omega-3 fatty acids, protein, iron, zinc and selenium. If you want to explore the health benefits of partridge, pheasant and venison which are all available from our butcher, the Eat Game website has more details.
It is also a very sustainable source of meat. Our venison is all wild and free-roaming across the Ragley Estate, with a careful management plan in place to ensure the survival – and natural breeding – of the fittest. Deer are immediately processed in our refrigerated deer larder before making the short journey to our butchers where they are prepared into a wide range of joints, steaks, mince and sausages. Everything is sold seasonally and locally through our retail butcher’s counter at Hillers Farm Shop.
Pheasant and partridge is another part of our game offering – and our butchers are on-hand to help customers explore ways in which to enjoy these extremely tasty meats. During the season, we are well-stocked with whole dressed birds, breast portions and mince which can be used in many easy recipes.
Our team at Ragley are specialists in game butchery – and can guide you through the different cuts available. Please ask for advice on what to choose and ideas for how to use these wonderful, local products, straight from the Estate.
For information, ideas and recipes go to the Eat Game website. Eat Game is supported by The British Association for Shooting and Conservation, and you can find more about what they do on their website.
