Celebrate Great British Game Week with the Adam Handling Collection

Known for his commitment to sustainability and zero waste, Chef Adam Handling MBE is celebrating Great British Game Week at the Adam Handling Collection by showcasing the most sustainable of game meats, wild venison, at his pubs The Loch & the Tyne, in Old Windsor, and The Tartan Fox, in Newquay.

Guests are encouraged to try the traditional dishes with a delicious twist, such as venison scotch egg, tartare sauce, venison and apple croquettes, venison burger, cheddar cheese, caramelised onion, and grilled venison haunch at The Loch and the Tyne in Berkshire. Roast loin of venison, celeriac, girolles, brambles will be served at their latest opening, The Tartan Fox, which launched in June of this year in Cornwall.

Chef Adam Handling MBE has long been an advocate for deer stalking, due to the damaging overpopulation of the animal that has recently become a problem in England – over-abundant deer populations reduce the diversity of plants and other wildlife species found in the forest. Overpopulation also affects the deer themselves, which is reflected by the animal's weight being lower than it should be. Once culling starts, there is more food available and less stress.

The Collection's support for local produce includes buying their venison and game from Deerbox, run by the incredibly knowledgeable Mike Robinson, who takes the chefs deer stalking in the Cotswolds. Venison is a healthier option for those eating it, because it is lean and low in fat. The Adam Handling Collection strives towards zero waste and therefore buys their venison in whole, making their own sausages and burgers and using the meat for their Scotch eggs; ensuring the whole animal is used in its entirety. Wild meat generally is known to have a lower carbon footprint than most mass-produced meats, and the industry is essential to the management and maintenance of countryside environments. This means it's guaranteed to be sustainable, ethical, and among the best on the market.

They are also passionate about constantly striving to enhance the guest experience, so every dish is carefully crafted to not only minimise waste but also maximise flavour, ensuring that each guest enjoys an exceptional and responsible dining experience.
