Game meat specialist Wild and Game has launched a Christmas hamper box range as an alternative gift idea for customers for this year.

The latest product line-up that can be home delivered includes four festive hampers ranging from £64.99 to £249.99 which includes artisan pies, charcuterie and chutneys.

Wild and Games's Trial Pack 2 is priced at £59.99, a 16-item pack which customers receive sausages, burgers, partridge and pheasant breasts and more.

For a more current seasonal box to try, the Autumn variety pack at £39.99, is a 10-item pack that includes sausages, pies, wild boar and venison and other game products.

Wild and Games said their new range was inspired following the success of the mixed game boxes sold during lockdown.

With the festive season fast approaching, the meat specialists are hoping their hampers will be a hit as an alternative Christmas present with large gatherings currently restricted.

On Tuesday, 22nd September Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced that meetings of no more than six people per household is expected to remain in place until March 2021.

Steven Frampton, co-founder of Wild and Game, said: “We’ve been delighted with how enthusiastically people have embraced our variety packs and hampers. They offer something a little different and are a great way to introduce someone to the pleasures of eating game.

“We offer everything from ready-made pies through to ready-to-cook meat, burgers and sausages, all made with the finest British game.

“We think this is a truly original Christmas gift, and one that people can enjoy over a course of days or weeks.”
