Fancy Sunday roast with a difference – why not serve a delicious joint of venison?
Enjoy a venison joint with family or friends for dinner or as an alternative sunday roast! We stock venision fillet, venison sirloin joints and venison haunch joints.
Venison fillet or loin is the premium cut of meat and enjoying it is a real treat. This rindless meat is wonderfully tender with a delicate flavour, delicious served rare with new potatoes / chunky chips. Fillet is £45 per kilo and varies in price considerably depending on weight, we would recommend around 600g for 4 people which will be around £27, depending on weight.
Venison sirloin is a prime roasting joint – and probably our favourite! It is a very tender joint, perfect for a special occasion when sliced thickly and served with lashings of dijon mustard. Sirloin is currently £36 per kilo so a 700g joint will be around £25.20 weight dependant.
Venison haunch is a super roasting joint from the hind quarters of the deer. It is a great joint for your Sunday roast and works brilliantly when teamed with a rich red wine and fruity gravy. It is also delicious when served alongside a sweet red cabbage or celeriac mas. Haunch is £30 per kilo which is good average size so about £30 for great sized 1kg joint (no bones!).

To maintain its freshness our venison is frozen and it will be still frozen when we deliver it to you.

Below is an alternative roasted haunch recipe. This recipe will give you a medium-rare joint of meat – cook it for longer if you’d prefer it to be more well done.
Ingredients
For the roast:
- 2 tbsp oil for frying – veg or sunflower
- 650g venison haunch
- 2 carrots, peeled & roughly chopped
- 1 onion, roughly chopped
- 2 sticks celery, roughly chopped
For the gravy:
- 100ml red wine
- 2 tsp redcurrant jelly
- 2 sprigs rosemary
- 250ml beef stock
- ½ tsp arrowroot (optional)
- salt & pepper
Method
- Preheat oven to 220°C/Gas 8. For the roast heat the oil in an oven and flameproof roasting tin, shallow casserole dish or frying pan over a medium-high heat.
- Add the haunch and brown it on all sides. Place the veg tightly around the meat and season with pepper. Roast in the oven for 15 minutes.
- Lower the heat to 180°C/Gas 4 and roast for another 15 minutes. Remove from the oven, transfer the meat to a plate and cover it with foil.
- Make the gravy while the meat rests. Add the wine, redcurrant jelly and rosemary to the pan with the veg still in it. Heat over the hob and stir to release any caramelised bits of meat from the pan. Boil for 1-2 minutes, then add the stock.
- Turn down the heat and simmer for about 10 minutes to reduce the gravy slightly. If you prefer your gravy slightly thicker, whisk the arrowroot with 1-2 teaspoons of water to make a smooth paste and stir into the gravy.
- Strain the gravy, season to taste and serve with the roast venison.
All of our deer are home reared, enjoying they’re life in our sweeping and peaceful parkland. All our venison is butchered and packaged by local butchers and then we label it at the farm before freshly freezing it for your convenience.
