Red Leg Partridge, Oven-Ready, Fresh x 4

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. They are typically found in lowland scrub, sunny hillsides, and heaths. Partridge is great roasted whole and due its size, is ideal as a single serving. Pair with seasonal fruits or root vegetables, such as honey glazed carrots. You could also wrap the bird in bacon or pancetta to help keep the meat succulent as it roasts.

Partridge is simple to cook and doesn’t require too long either! We have a rich and comforting recipe of Partridge with Mustard, Bacon, and Tarragon here for you to try which involves jointing the bird. For more game recipe inspiration, head to Drogo’s Kitchen.
