Venison is already on school menus in Scotland, and pupils are choosing it themselves. In a UK first, primary pupils on Islay and Jura ran their own taste tests and picked the dishes, with venison meatballs and burgers coming out on top. The project went on to win Best Sustainability Project in the UK at the Public Sector Catering Awards.
Venison is high in protein, rich in iron and zinc, and much lower in saturated fat than other red meats.
If you are interested in putting venison on your menu, we can point you towards suppliers in your area who can supply at volume.
