Grouse
Discover premium grouse, one of Britain’s most celebrated seasonal game birds.
Known for its rich, distinctive flavour and tender dark meat, grouse is ideal for traditional roasts, elegant dinner-party dishes and seasonal autumn cooking.
Fresh Grouse
Fresh grouse is highly seasonal and prized for its deep, gamey flavour.
Because the bird is naturally lean, it benefits from careful cooking to keep the meat tender and succulent.

What Does Grouse Taste Like?
Grouse has a more pronounced flavour than chicken or many other poultry varieties.
Its meat is rich, earthy and distinctly game-like, pairing particularly well with autumn ingredients such as mushrooms, berries, root vegetables and rich sauces.
