Success Stories

We’re proud to partner with a diverse range of outstanding businesses and organisations, spanning large-scale catering providers, restaurant groups, and luxury retail brands.

 

Below, we’re delighted to share a selection of their success stories.

Partnership with NHS Foundation Trusts​

Eat Wild has been privileged to work in partnership with a number of NHS Foundation Trusts to supply high-quality, locally sourced venison for use within hospital catering services.

Set up alongside Phil Shelley and Tim Radcliffe, we work with Trusts in Lancashire, Nottinghamshire, Somerset, Devon, and Exeter. Eat Wild has helped establish a sustainable supply chain that connects local estates with NHS kitchens, ensuring that patients, staff, and visitors benefit from nutritious, responsibly sourced British wild game.

Venison supplied through this partnership is sourced from carefully managed local estates and used to produce a range of wholesome, freshly prepared meals within hospital kitchens, including venison sausages and mash, venison spaghetti bolognese and keepers pie. These dishes provide a healthy, high-protein alternative to conventional meats while supporting local countryside management.

All meat is fully traceable and responsibly sourced, helping to reduce food miles while promoting the use of natural, free-range British produce within the public sector.

Since the start of the partnership, the relationship between Eat Wild and the participating NHS Trusts has continued to grow, with increasing demand for sustainably sourced venison and ongoing collaboration to expand its use across hospital menus.

Delaware North

Eat Wild is proud to be working in partnership with Delaware North at major sporting venues including, Arsenal FC, West Ham United FC, Derby County FC, Wembley Stadium and Sunderland AFC.

This collaboration has seen venison hotdogs introduced across both hospitality and retail environments, helping to make sustainable British game more visible and approachable for fans and consumers alike.

Alongside this, Delaware North have expanded their offering to include pheasant dishes, tailored specifically for private dining and hospitality settings.

Together, Eat Wild and Delaware North are helping to redefine how game is experienced across the UK, whether in stadiums, retail outlets, or elevated hospitality spaces.

Through this partnership, Eat Wild is helping drive meaningful change in the foodservice sector by making venison both accessible and appealing at scale.

Today, venison is already being served across some of the UK’s most iconic venues, including Tottenham Hotspur FC, Brentford FC, NEC Group venues, The Oval, Edgbaston Cricket Ground, Wimbledon, Aston Villa FC, The O2 Arena and Twickenham.

Menus are increasingly venison-focused, showcasing the versatility of the product across a range of formats, from comforting classics like pies and sausage rolls, to crowd-pleasing burgers and premium cuts such as venison loin. Together, Eat Wild and Compass Levy are redefining how sustainable meat is experienced at scale, delivering both environmental impact and exceptional taste. 

Ministry of Defence

Eat Wild has been working in partnership with the Ministry of Defence, alongside Aramark Side-By-Side Defence Catering, to integrate sustainable British game into military dining across the UK.

This long-standing collaboration has seen the development of scalable, high-quality meals using a combination of pheasant and chicken, to deliver both consistency and sustainability. Today, this programme utilises around 6 tonnes of pheasant and chicken mix annually, served across multiple defence sites nationwide.

Menus have been carefully developed to be both familiar and engaging for children. Dishes include a venison and blackberry pasty, spaghetti bolognese, venison enchiladas, black bean tacos, burgers, and a coronation pheasant wrap, introducing children to high-quality, natural proteins in formats they recognise and enjoy.

Airline Lounges

Eat Wild has partnered with a leading international airline to introduce venison into its UK lounge offering, featuring a premium venison burger designed to deliver both quality and sustainability in a high-end travel environment.

The initiative has successfully showcased venison as a modern, versatile alternative to traditional red meats, aligning with growing demand from travellers for more responsible and nutritious dining options.

Following strong performance in the UK, the airline is now exploring opportunities to expand the concept across its international lounge network. A key focus of this rollout is maintaining a commitment to local sourcing, ensuring that venison is procured within each country wherever possible, supporting regional supply chains while reducing environmental impact.

Through this partnership, Eat Wild is helping to position venison on a global stage, demonstrating how sustainable British game can inspire locally sourced, environmentally conscious menus worldwide.
