How much to sell pheasants to a pub/ restraunt ?


Recommended Posts

Selling them direct can open a whole can of worms unless you have food hygiene certificate etc , better just to trade them for pints / meals etc.

 

You dont need anything under the hunter exemption, you can sell them in small quantities and in feather direct to point of consumption.

 

If you want to remove the feathers then you need to register as a food business with your local council and demonstrate to the food standards agency that you have critical point plans and the like in place but you still dont need any food hygiene certificates or the like. Once registered you can even process the meat to a degree (as in remove it from carcass etc).

 

Read the latest guidance from the FSA.

I wanted to do the same but with rabbits and wanted to make sure all my ducks were in line so have been through this with both the County Council and the Food Standards Agency, as of last week I now have a registered food business with a green light to trade from both authorities.

Is it also true you can't even technically store them overnight anywhere under the hunter exemption thepasty?

While moving through the process with both authorities there was no reference or guidance to time restrictions between the animal/bird being shot to delivering it to the end consumer. In my case I want to process the meat to provide de-boned etc, for this I had to demonstrate appropriate dedicated processing area AND refrigerated storage.

 

That doesnt conclusively answer your question but it demonstrates that both authorities are happy with my set-up which includes storing for periods of time.
