Introducing Red Leg Partridge!

Partridge is a popular bird as it is delicate and tender in comparison to other wild game but still offers that distinctive gamey flavour. This medium-sized game bird is available from September and throughout winter. Partridges are typically found in lowland scrub, sunny hillsides and heaths and are great roasted whole and due to their size, are ideal as a single serving.

  • Braising: Brown the partridge in a pan, then braise slowly with wine, stock and herbs until tender.
  • Pan-Searing & Finishing in the oven: Sear in a hot pan to brown, then transfer to the oven to finish cooking.
  • Stuffing & Roasting: Add aromatics like garlic, thyme, or lemon inside the cavity, then roast.
  • Slow-cooking: Use a slow cooker or pot with stock and vegetables for a moist, tender result.
