Rabbit is best casseroled and there are many recipes available. Try beer or cider, both are a popular choice of marinade or liquid base for rabbit casseroles!

You have the choice of the whole rabbit as is - unprocessed with its fur and head on - or oven ready. The oven ready rabbit is jointed by our expert butchers into five pieces: four legs and the saddle (back).

Need Some Help?

If you're not sure what to order, or how to cook one of our products, simply get in touch on 01728 687627 or email annabel@wildmeat.co.uk and we will pleased to help.

I recommend placing the joints into water with a bit of added salt or vinegar overnight in the fridge before cooking as this dilutes the gamey smell and cleans the flesh of any residual blood. Cook the rabbit the easiest way - in a casserole! There are tons of recipes to choose from. We like the ones that include cider or beer!

Please do not refuse or return any delayed delivery - our insulated packaging will fully protect your order for 48 hours from dispatch so claims cannot be made for deliveries received within this time period.

Returns & Refunds

We want you to buy our goods with complete confidence. We take great pride in the quality of our goods but if you are not completely satisfied with the meat you receive, please contact us, sending photographs, to explain what has gone wrong and we will endeavour to replace, refund or give credit for any defective goods (according to your wishes). You also have statutory rights to return certain types of goods, set out in our terms and conditions.

Please note that because small game is usually shot with a shotgun it is likely to have some blemishes, pellet holes and/or bruises. Our quality control process means that we filter out any birds with more than three pellet holes or 10% bruising on the breast meat. If you notice more bruising or pellet holes on your products, please do contact us attaching a photo so we can review accordingly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are your products supplied fresh or frozen? We often freeze our game so that we are able to supply seasonal meat all year round. Typically we thaw the meat for one to two days (depending on the weight/size of the product) in a 2ºC environment (for cutting and/or packing) prior to dispatch to you. Read more...

Can you tell me the ingredients of your stuffings and processed products? Yes, full ingredient lists are available. Read more

Do your products contain shot? All our meat in the game meat and game bird categories may contain some shot or shot fragments, as they are culled by hunters using shotguns or rifles. The only exception is squirrel, which is humanely trapped. In most cases the shot is not found in the meat, as shotgun pellets normally rest in the bone or the internal cavity and bullets usually travel right through the body. Shot is made from copper, steel, tungsten, bismuth or lead. For more information on the phasing out of lead, please read our blog.

How long will game meat keep for? All our products have a use by date on their packaging. In general products which contain minced meat (such as sausages and burgers) have a shelf life of 7 days whereas it will be 10 days from the date of packing for most other fresh meat. Depending on the courier and delivery schedules, the shelf life from the date of delivery for sausages/burgers will be 3/4 days, and 6/7 days for all other meats. Smoked products will have a shelf life of up to 21 days and most fish have a shelf life of 6 days (2/3 days from day of delivery depending on courier schedules).
