Watch: Walked-up shooting & a perfect roast pheasant recipe

Time Well Spent June 15, 2022

In this episode of Tim’s Wild Kitchen on Shooting & Country TV, chef Tim Maddams of River Cottage fame indulges in his absolute favourite past-time – walked-up pheasant shooting – to bag a few birds for the pot. 

With the help of gamekeeper Ben and his two fantastic gundogs, the pair work a hedgerow in the beautiful Morayshire countryside before heading back to Tim’s kitchen where he cooks up the perfect roast pheasant, accompanied by smoked, roasted potatoes and topped off with a beautiful festive cocktail recipe for you to try this Christmas.

If you’ve got no turkey for Christmas this year and are in the market for a tasty alternative, or maybe you just want to know how to cook the perfect roast pheasant (NOT an easy feat!) then you’re in the right place!
