Wild Wood Pigeon Breast Fillet, Previously Frozen
Pigeon breast fillet - a sustainable, lean and delicious addition to our range of game
Pigeon is a rich, succulent, fine grained meat that’s much darker than chicken. Wild pigeons eat a varied diet that includes berries, seeds, nuts and greens, all of which add to the flavour of the meat. Wild Pigeon Breast Fillets are a real delicacy that taste best cooked pink. Pigeon has a complex, earthy, gamey flavour with a touch of minerality. It pairs well with strong flavours, from blue cheese to berries and bacon.
Pigeon meat is also highly nutritious. It’s rich in protein and in nutrients including iron, B vitamins and phosphorous. It’s also a sustainable source of meat that’s in ready supply in the UK, meaning it’s a good option if you’re trying to keep food miles low.
*This product may contain lead shot or bone fragments.
Lead-shot game refers to Pheasant, Partridge, Deer, Goose, Wood Pigeon, Woodcock & Rabbit shot for food using pellets or balls made of lead. Eating lead-shot game meat on a frequent basis can expose you to potentially harmful levels of lead. To minimise your risk of lead intake, if you frequently eat lead-shot game meat, particularly small game, you should cut down your consumption.
Exposure to lead can harm the developing brain and nervous system. So cutting down the amount of lead-shot game eaten is especially important for:
- toddlers
- children
- pregnant women
- women trying for a baby

All of our sustainable game meat is supplied by Wild and Game. Back in 2017 their founders Steven Frampton and Michael Cannon, both wild game enthusiasts, decided to do something about the under-consumption of game in the UK. While our countryside yields an abundant supply of beautiful game meat, the traditions of cooking with it had largely been lost. Steven and Michael saw an opportunity to ignite a new passion for game while helping to cut reliance on imported and intensively farmed meat.
They also wanted to encourage guardianship of our countryside and promote a healthier way of eating. We hope you’ll join us in embracing this lean, healthy, sustainable and delicious source of meat from our fields and forests. Game has often been seen as a seasonal meat, but our products are supplied frozen so you can enjoy them all year round.
