Venison Shank

Our venison shank is a deeply flavourful cut taken from wild British deer, prized for its richness and depth when slow-cooked. Naturally lean and full of connective tissue, this cut transforms into meltingly tender meat when braised low and slow.

Ideal for hearty stews, slow braises, and osso buco–style dishes, venison shank is a favourite among chefs and home cooks who appreciate traditional, warming game cookery.

Why Venison Shank?

• Wild British venison from responsible deer management

• Perfect for slow cooking – rich, gelatinous texture when braised

• Deep, savoury flavour ideal for winter dishes and comfort food

• Naturally high in protein and nutrients

• A classic cut for traditional game recipes

Weight & Portions

Each £8 venison shank weighs approximately 500–800g.

As this is a natural product, shank sizes vary.

If smaller shanks are available, we will supply two shanks to make up the weight — typically 2 × 350–400g.

Fresh Delivery & Storage

Your venison shank is delivered fresh, vacuum-packed and ready to cook.

It can be used immediately or placed straight into the freezer for later use.

How to Cook Venison Shank

Venison shank is best cooked low and slow to break down the connective tissue.

Recommended method:

• Brown well to develop flavour

• Braise gently in stock, wine, or tomatoes for 2.5–4 hours

• Finish with herbs such as thyme, bay, rosemary, or juniper

Perfect served with mashed potatoes, polenta, or seasonal root vegetables.
