Purdey chairman James Horne commented: “The consumption of game meat 
is a great joy to those who have enjoyed the spoils during the game season. We are determined to broaden the awareness of the delights this meat brings and encourage its wider consumption across the UK. The awards are 
a tremendous way of recognising the significant breadth of game use and innovation that so many ordinary people, chefs, restaurants and companies have brought to our table.”

Boisdale Restaurants owner Ranald Macdonald said: “The eating of game is integral to the survival of the Great British countryside, the rural economy and our way of life. It is also delicious and nutritious.

“For everyone’s benefit we need to encourage the consumption of British game.”

Annette Woolcock from Taste of Game added: “We are very excited by the awards and hope the shooting and game meat industry will get behind them by nominating and voting for their favourite businesses and individuals. There are some great businesses now using game and we want to reward and showcase them through these awards.”
