Wild Yorkshire Venison from the Harewood Estate
Our wild venison comes from free-roaming fallow deer on the Harewood Estate in West Yorkshire. The deer range across 4,000 acres of parkland and woodland, foraging naturally on grasses, herbs, fruit, nuts and acorns throughout the year.
Managed through traditional deer management and conservation grazing, the herd lives with minimal human intervention. This approach supports the health of the estate and produces venison with excellent flavour and a fine, tender texture.
Our long-standing relationship with Harewood gives us full traceability from estate to butchery, with each cut prepared by hand in Yorkshire.
