Venison, Pork & Smoked Lardo Burgers 4 x 150g

Autumn in the kitchen brings some of the best culinary moments of the year, with a bounty of British game at its peak. There’s something uniquely joyful and quintessentially British about cooking with both feathered and furred wild animals, their deep, robust flavours pairing beautifully with the season's fruit and vegetables.

Yet, we understand that cooking and eating game can feel like a leap for some - whether it's the strong, 'wild' flavours or simply the idea of preparing game. With that in mind, we've created an approachable twist on one of our favourite game meats by offering it in burger form. But this isn’t just any burger! We've taken venison belly and shoulder, coarsely minced them with a touch of pork belly, and added a generous amount of our house-cured, smoked lardo. The lardo brings just the right balance of smokiness and sweetness to complement the rich, slightly earthy flavour of the venison, adding a welcome dose of fat to this otherwise lean meat. A seasonal twist on a classic that’s packed with flavour.

For the best experience, keep it simple: a high-quality bun (brioche works well), a robustly flavoured cheese, and a topping to add a final burst of brightness. We like a quick green chilli relish made with chillies, garlic, shallots, a little sugar, and a splash of vinegar - creating a burger that’s a true autumn delight, in every mouthful.
