Perfect for a simple and delicious pan-fried Autumn supper...
As with beef, the venison fillet is the very tender and lean cut that runs along the inside of the spine. It's a delicate and delicious cut of venison, that's a treat to both cook and eat. Simply pan-fry for 6-8 minutes in butter, so that its nicely browned but still pink in the middle. And always leave to rest for a good 5-10 minutes before eating.
Wonderful served with salt and perhaps some horseradish, it also works well with a fruity sauce (any of the berries, including juniper, are a great compliment) or fried mushrooms in butter. You could also try a venison stroganoff, stir-fry or even a venison Wellington.
Our wild venison is locally shot on nearby East Suffolk estates and farms, by farmers known to us.
When fully trimmed, each wild venison fillet weighs approximately 750-850g.
Enough to feed 4 people.

Gerard's Suggestion
We take great pride in sourcing our game from smaller local shoots and farmers in East Suffolk. By partnering with farms that prioritise sustainable practices, and the surrounding environment supports thriving woodland and natural pasture. These shoots often provide opportunities for foraging, highlighting the harmony between nature and responsible sourcing. Building close relationships with these farmers allows us to bring you high-quality game while supporting local communities and preserving traditional practices.
> Pan-fry and Quick & Easy
1. Pat your fillet dry before rubbing all over with a little oil.
2. Heat a good heavy based pan over a high heat and sear your fillet for 6-8 minutes depending on the thickness of your fillet and how you like it cooked.
3. Remember to rest for 4-5 minutes (covered with baking parchment or foil) before serving.
