Nigel’s Top Tips

  • You can simply roast or grill youngÌýpartridge & serve with a light gravy from the cooking juices. ÌýThey buddy up nicely with sweet, autumn roasted veg.

  • Don't treat partridge as you would chicken, as they need far less time in the oven & are best served pink & juicy. ÌýOlder birds benefit from slower stewing & are great with bacon & savoy cabbage.
