Culinary workshop showing you how to cook game in different ways including how to use all the bird to make stocks and sauces

During this in-depth, six-hour masterclass, one of our game experts will teach you essential skills for preparing deer, partridge, pheasant, rabbit, and mallard. (Please note: species may vary based on seasonal availability).
The day will start at 10am and includes a 2-course lunch showcasing the best of our Yorkshire game. Throughout the day you will learn the practical skills of de-boning and filleting a bird, preparing main primals of venison and much more. This is a ‘Hands on’ course, and you will have the opportunity to do plenty of butchery yourself.
Using the whole animal, Chef Greg will talk you through the ways of getting the most from your game bird, from nose to tail and how to make stocks and sauces.
Cooking techniques used on the course will show you how to grill, smoke or roast your game.
Please arrive up to 15 minutes before your booked time.
