utectok Posted October 18, 2010 Report Share Posted October 18, 2010 I got this email today........ " Hi Will, On 30th Oct. Sat after next, I am doing the catering for a fundraising dinner for the Hall committee (to cover their insurance and repairs) and I need 50 pigeon breasts!!! can you supply? or do you anyone else? Cheers Jools" and I said....... "Hi jools If you are Ok with frozen I have enough (shot over stubble this year so pretty fresh). Not sure what the going rate for these are but it would be good to get a few pennies towards cartridge costs! I'll ask around. Cheers Will" What should I charge for clean frozen pigeon breast (not birds I always breast mine cause we have a small freezer). Thanks guys your advice is much appreciated PS bare in mind this is not a commercial operation just a friend! Will Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HW682 Posted October 18, 2010 Report Share Posted October 18, 2010 A quick search on t'interweb found this http://freedownfood.co.uk/traditional_game.aspx London prices, so take that with a pinch of salt in the real world, but the commercial rate shown is £16 for a tray of 10 breasts.
