O’ Sweet Partridge

Partridge

I’ve found a good source of game birds from this small Kentish farm shop and I’m very much enjoying trying different ones. I picked up two partridges on my last visit which I stuffed with butter, garlic and shallots, wrapped them in bacon and roasted them in a hot oven. And oh my, they were good. Don’t let the small size fool you; these tiny little birds are big on flavour. If you haven’t tried partridge before you really must; and you’re in for a real treat.
