This week Eat Wild were proud to take part in the Annual Game Conference, hosted by Holland & Holland and The Game & Wildlife Conservation Trust at Holland & Holland Shooting Grounds.
Organised and chaired by Dylan Williams, the panel was made up of our Chairman Alan Beynon and Culinary Director Leon Challis-Davies, who were joined by Tristan Kirk of Lincolnshire Game and Stewart McIntyre from Loyton Sporting (and Eat Wild Board member).
Entitled 'The Game Cart Is Full & So Is The Chiller', conversation centered around thanks to the industry thus far and of how we can work together moving forwards, with issues such as best practice, non-toxic shot and how we can ensure as much game as possible goes into the food chain going forwards all discussed.
Everyone was happy to see caterers and large supermarkets embracing and purchasing wild meat, with many shoots and agents in attendance united in pledging to embrace the levy next season.
Guests enjoyed delicious venison pie, mash and seasonal greens, courtesy of Head Chef Josh Hunter and his talented team, and it was great to see the shooting industry positively pulling together.
To quote Tarquin Millington-Drake, 'In has come constructive dialogue and a can- do approach'.
