A whole wild wood pigeon, shot and harvested from British woodland, lean, gamey, and deeply flavoured with the distinctive richness that only wild birds carry.
Wild wood pigeon is one of Britain's most underused game birds and one of the most rewarding to cook. Plentiful, genuinely wild rather than farmed, and harvested from British woodland, the pigeon has a deep, almost liver-like richness to its meat that reflects a diet of grain, berries, and whatever else it finds in the fields. The breast meat is dark and dense, best eaten pink, overcooked pigeon becomes tough quickly. For a whole bird, roast at high heat (220°C) for 15–18 minutes and rest for 5 minutes before serving. Or spatchcock the bird and cook breast-side down in a hot pan with butter and thyme for 8 minutes, then rest. The legs are good slow-braised and picked for pasta or risotto. Serve the breast sliced over a watercress and walnut salad with a little pomegranate molasses in the dressing. This is proper British wild food with excellent provenance, and at this price, it's outstanding value for flavour delivered.

Pork Shoulder
We cooked the rolled pork shoulder last Sunday and it was outstanding. Proper crackling, rich flavour and no watery mess in the tray. You can really taste the difference in how the animals are raised.

Slow Grown Whole Chicken
The chicken was full of flavour and roasted evenly. Nothing pumped or artificial about it. Just proper, honest food and a world away from supermarket birds.

Delivery was spot on and the beef T-Bone was next level. No supermarket beef compares.

Pipers & Co has that rare mix of convenience and genuine craft. Delivery is reliable and the meat arrives in perfect condition. It feels like you’re supporting real farmers not a big faceless company.
