If you love festive food that feels special, christmas wild venison is a perfect centrepiece. It’s ethical, full of character, and offers a refined, seasonal flavour that pairs beautifully with winter herbs, berries and citrus.
Ethical Sourcing and Sustainability

By opting for wild venison, you’re making an environmentally conscious choice that respects the land and enhances the health of our natural environment.
Distinctive Flavour and Nutritional Profile
Wild venison offers a deep, elegant flavour that reflects the landscape itself — subtly sweet, clean, and beautifully balanced with winter aromatics. It’s naturally lean, high in protein, and rich in iron, zinc and B vitamins, making it one of the healthiest and most sustainable meats available in the UK. Because we supply our cuts fresh, not frozen, you’ll enjoy tender texture and exceptional juiciness. Pair your christmas venison meat with juniper, rosemary, thyme, orange zest and redcurrant for festive harmony that’s both refined and comforting.
Choosing Your Christmas Venison Cuts
From show‑stopping roasts to effortless mid‑week suppers, we offer the right cut for every festive plan. Here’s how to select christmas venison you’ll be proud to serve.
Roasting Cuts: Saddle, Loin, and Haunch
- Saddle: The ultimate centrepiece. A whole or boned saddle delivers uniform cooking, silky tenderness and impressive presentation. Roast gently and baste with butter, garlic and herbs.
- Loin: Delicate, supremely tender and perfect for quick roasting or sear‑roasting. Serve blushing pink with a juniper and port sauce for refined flavour.
- Haunch: A classic festive joint with deeper character. Roast on the bone for succulence, or choose boned haunch for easy carving. Ideal with rosemary, bay and cranberry.
These cuts yield beautiful slices and pair wonderfully with roast roots, buttered greens and rich gravies — a timeless approach to christmas wild venison that brings warmth to every table.
Slow-Cook and Quick-Cook Options: Shoulder, Shank, and Medallions
- Shoulder: Best for slow braising. Long, gentle cooking unlocks silky textures and robust flavour. Add winter vegetables, red wine and herbs for a comforting festive casserole.
- Shank: Collagen‑rich and luxurious when cooked low and slow. Braise until spoon‑tender, then finish with gremolata or horseradish cream to brighten the dish.
- Medallions: Speedy and elegant for smaller gatherings. Pan‑sear to medium‑rare and serve with buttered sprouts, pancetta and a sharp berry sauce.
Whether you’re planning a leisurely braise or a swift celebration supper, these cuts make wild venison for Christmas versatile, rewarding and easy to cook.
How to Cook Christmas Wild Venison
Venison excels with simple, confident techniques. Keep it tender, well‑seasoned and rested, and let the flavour of the countryside speak for itself.
Preparation, Marinades, and Resting
- Trim and pat dry: Remove excess surface moisture for better browning.
- Season early: Salt 30–60 minutes before cooking to enhance flavour.
- Marinade (optional): Try juniper, rosemary, thyme, garlic, orange zest, cracked pepper and a splash of port. 2–6 hours is ideal; avoid overpowering the meat.
- Bring to room temperature: 30–45 minutes before cooking ensures even doneness.
- Rest well: Rest roasts for 10–15 minutes; steaks and medallions for 5–8 minutes. Resting helps juices redistribute for succulent results.
Keep marinades balanced and avoid excessive acidity, which can tighten lean meat.
Cooking Methods, Doneness, and Temperature Control
- Sear‑roast: Sear in a hot pan, then finish in the oven for even cooking and a caramelised crust.
- Reverse sear: Roast at a gentle heat first, then sear to finish — superb for large joints like saddle or haunch.
- Braise: Low and slow with aromatics for shoulder and shank; the result is spoon‑tender, deeply flavoured meat.
Recommended internal temperatures (use a digital thermometer):
- Loin, saddle, medallions: 58–60°C for medium‑rare; 62–65°C for medium
- Haunch roast: 60–63°C for medium‑rare to medium
- Mince and sausages: cook through to 75°C
- Braises: cook until tender; temperature is less important than texture
Control oven heat (typically 160–190°C for roasts), baste with butter or dripping, and allow time to rest. Finish with a pan sauce: deglaze with port or red wine, add stock and a spoon of redcurrant jelly for festive shine.
