Pheasants, Brace Of
Wild British Brace of Pheasant
£14.00 per kg
Brace of Pheasants are carefully selected wild British game birds, sourced locally from trusted Yorkshire shoots and suppliers. Two plump, oven-ready pheasants with rich, distinctive game flavour and tender, lean meat. A classic seasonal favourite, perfect for a special autumn or winter roast. Hand-prepared fresh in our family shop.
Remove the brace from the fridge 1 hour before cooking to bring to room temperature.
Season the cavities and outside generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Cover the breasts with streaky bacon or butter to prevent drying out.
Recommended oven method:
Preheat oven to 200°C / Fan 180°C / Gas 6.
Place the pheasants in a roasting tin, breast-side up, on a bed of onions, carrots and herbs if desired.
Roast for 50–60 minutes (25–30 minutes per bird), basting occasionally, until the juices run clear and the legs are tender.
For the final 10 minutes, remove the bacon to allow the skin to crisp up.
Rest the pheasants loosely covered with foil for 10–15 minutes before carving.
Best enjoyed with game chips, braised red cabbage, bread sauce, roast root vegetables and a rich red wine gravy.
