A New Chapter for the South West

In the rolling hills that define Devon and Cornwall, food has always been more than something we eat. It’s culture, heritage, and the lifeblood of rural communities. Today, we’re proud to announce a partnership that strengthens these roots and looks firmly towards the future: Pipers & Co is joining forces with Philip Warrens, one of the South West’s most respected butchers and graziers.On the surface, this is a partnership between two longstanding food businesses. But at its heart, it’s a story of two families, two next generations stepping up, and a shared belief in doing things properly.

Is the wild venison sustainably sourced?

Yes, our wild venison comes from native British deer roaming freely in carefully managed landscapes. This supports sustainable hunting practices that protect biodiversity and rural communities.

How is the venison raised and what does 'wild' mean here?

The deer are wild, native British animals living freely without intensification. This natural lifestyle contributes to balanced ecosystems and richer, nutrient-dense meat.

What game do you sell besides venison?

Whole wild rabbit, whole wild wood pigeon, skinless pigeon breasts and a wild game pie mix, alongside venison diced, steaks, boneless haunch and saddle fillet.

Is wild venison healthier than beef?

It is one of the leanest red meats there is: high in protein and iron, low in fat, from deer that lived entirely on wild forage. If you want red meat with the lightest footprint and leanest profile, venison is hard to better.

Which venison cut should I choose?

Saddle fillet and steaks for quick, hot cooking and pink serving. Boneless haunch for roasting. Diced venison for stews, casseroles and pies, where it turns rich and tender over slow hours.

Does venison taste strongly gamey?

Less than its reputation suggests. Wild venison is deeper and more savoury than beef but clean-tasting, not funky. The stronger notes people call gamey belong mostly to birds that have been hung for a long time, not to fresh venison.

How do I cook pigeon breast?

Hot, fast and pink. Sear skinless pigeon breasts in a very hot pan for a couple of minutes a side, rest them, and slice. Cooked through they turn livery; served pink they are one of game's great bargains.

How should I cook wild rabbit?

Slowly. Wild rabbit is lean and active muscle, so it wants braising: in cider, mustard and cream, or a simple stew. Joint it, brown it, then let it simmer gently until it gives.

Why does eating wild venison help the countryside?

Britain has more deer than the landscape can carry, and without natural predators their numbers damage woodland and farmland. Careful culling by professional stalkers keeps herds healthy, and eating the meat means that management feeds people rather than going to waste.

What goes in a game pie?

Our wild game pie mix does the thinking for you: a ready-diced blend of wild meats suited to long, slow cooking under a pastry lid. Add bacon, red wine and thyme and you have a proper winter pie.
