We source the best quality organic grass-fed and wild meats, sustainable fish and organic free-range poultry from trusted local suppliers and like-minded brands to guarantee the highest standards of animal welfare and environmental stewardship. Our mission is to approach butchery with a whole-carcass perspective, to make the most of every animal that crosses our blocks, which means we offer you cuts that you will never see on the supermarket shelves.
WHAT IS ORGANIC DUCK?
By working with a poultry specialist who has decades of experience running a Soil Association-certified farm, we know that our duck has been reared in a natural, high-welfare system. These traditional birds produce meat that is unforgettable from first taste – juicy, rich and with just the right amount of sweet fat.
Ingredients
- 200g cooked duck meat, shredded
- 85g hoisin sauce
- 12 chinese-style pancakes
- 1/4 cucumber, cut into thin strips (approx 6cm)
- 24 chive sprigs
- extra hoisin sauce for dipping, to serve
Method
- Place the shredded duck meat in a bowl and stir through the hoisin sauce. Set aside until ready to assemble.
- Cut two long 4-5cm strips out of each pancake, discarding of the outer edges.
- Position a pancake strip vertical on a surface and place a couple of cucumber strands horizontally at the top. Spoon on a small amount of shredded duck so the fibres also sit horizontally with a little overhang either side of the pancake. Roll up the pancake to enclose the filling.
- Carefully tie and knot the roll closed using a sprig of chive and trim away any long ends to create a neat finish.
- Serve on a plate with a little extra hoisin sauce for dipping.

For ducks, that means growing in a free-range, sustainable system with access to water for swimming and grass for grazing. An active lifestyle and natural diet ensure the ducks we source are healthy, with strong immune systems. And that translates directly into high-welfare meat that tastes delicious.
