Venison Faggots
Honouring British Food Traditions in a Modern Kitchen
The resurgence of traditional British food over the past three decades has revived an essential part of our culinary heritage. Without this movement, spearheaded by influential establishments like St. JOHN, many of Britain’s most authentic and delicious dishes might have faded into obscurity - a loss that would have been immeasurable. Whilst the UK’s food culture has been enriched by influences from the Mediterranean, Southern Europe, and the Middle East, preserving and celebrating our own gastronomic history remains equally vital.
One of the finest examples of British comfort food is the humble faggot. Rooted in frugal necessity, this dish embodies the nose-to-tail butchery ethos with its satisfying blend of mince, offal, and aromatic spices, all wrapped in caul fat. Baked in the oven, glazed with a rich onion gravy, and served atop creamy mashed potato or crushed root vegetables, faggots are a timeless dish perfect for the colder months.
Swaledale’s venison faggots honour this tradition whilst introducing a subtle twist. Made with the last of the season’s wild venison from the Harewood Estate, the filling is coarsely minced venison combined with pork belly, shoulder, lamb hearts, and livers, plus a touch of cured backfat. This rich mixture is enhanced with buttery, slow-cooked shallots, sage, white pepper, and ground mace. A splash of red wine and a handful of oats are added to bind the mixture before it is carefully wrapped in caul fat. The result is a beautifully balanced, hearty dish that celebrates British culinary traditions.
