leeds chimp Posted August 20, 2012 Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 read on here that some people sell their shot to pubs etc. I have been approached by a pub asking if i can get pigeons, rabbits venison and game (pheasant duck etc when in season) do i need to register for anything and what is the best way to go about it?

WelshLamb Posted August 20, 2012 Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 I think you need a game prep license or something in order to supply the food chain?? Give basc a ring, they'll probably know! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kyska Posted August 20, 2012 Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 and what kind of prices to charge for http://www.food.gov.uk/multimedia/pdfs/draftwildgameguide.pdf Here you go, its a bit complicated, but the flow diagrams should send you in the right direction. As for price, I don't know, I normally exchange the odd rabbit for beer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aga man Posted August 20, 2012 Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 the butcher who i supply has always told me that its perfectly ok so supply pigeons and rabbits in feather and fur, but if you supply them prepared for the oven you need a licence. my butcher pays me £1.50 for gutted rabbits {headshot} and 50p for pigeons in feather {20p more than the game dealer}. you might get a bit more from a pub. not sure about the venison might be more to it with that.

kyska Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 cheers... So i can supply them in the fur or feather but if i make them "oven ready" i need to register then Pretty much, the salient point is 'preparing' food, which requires certain amounts of hygeine training, documentation, food chain information etc, you can only skirt this by supplying small amounts of food though.

dougall Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 I have 'supplied' a local pub.Well actually have given pigeon,owner/chef insists whole bird/in the feather no problem,I tell him when and where shot.No formal agreement I get a few beers and bottle of wine thrown in when take the family there.

kyska Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 (edited) so i can supply "oven ready" ie pigeon crown or plucked but only in small numbers then as i read it that it has to be in fur or feather only No, my understanding is.. Do you shoot game, process it and supply small quantities of game meat to final consumers or local retailers? If Yes You must register as a food business because you are supplying prepared wild game meat (even if supply is in small quantities If you are supplying the animals in fur or feather to a establishment, then it is them who has the onus of having the correct FBO registration and comply with the usual traceability guidelines. The 'hunter expemption' IMO won't apply to you. Edited August 21, 2012 by kyska Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
