The Glorious Twelfth is the start of the game season and sees the first day of shooting on the grouse moors.
The Red Grouse is a completely wild bird living on the heather moorlands of the UK.
The season is short, lasting for just 16 weeks to mid-December.
Game is naturally free range, local and low fat. We have venison and grouse in the counter from Friday 18th August 2023: you can always pre-order your Grouse in advance.
These birds are much sought after by chefs and home cooks and only hunted when there is a surplus.
David enjoys his Grouse, roasted with rich red wine gravy and bread sauce. https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/roast-grouse-red-wine-gravy
