The Wild Game Co. launches new pop-up restaurant

The Wild Game Co. has launched its first stand-alone pop-up and dining concept on one of London’s foodie destinations, Charlotte Street. Diners can expect wild venison and wild game meat sourced directly from the Scottish Highlands.

The Wild Game Co. was founded by Andy Waugh, hailing from just north of Inverness. Andy and his clan of kilt-wearing chefs have been making quite an impression on the London dining scene. In 2012, they were the winners of Street Food of the Year at The Young British Foodies Awards and all of their meat is sourced from Andy’s family-run game-butchering business.

Andy said: "We're delighted to be bringing the North of Scotland to Central London with the launch of the Wild Game Co. pop-up. Our produce is not just wild or from somewhere up North, we can tell you exactly who shot it and where it’s from in the Highlands. We look forward to sharing it with you soon.”

The Wild Game Co. will have a changing and reasonably priced seasonal menu. Highlights will include the Veni-Moo burger. It will consist of two patties stacked on top of each other, one of venison and one of beef with melted cheese, beef bacon and the Wild Game Co. sauce. The pop-up will also sell some of the artisan products used in the restaurant, including Rubies in the Rubble chutney and Cullise rape seed oil.

The Wild Game Co. is staying true to its roots. Design features of the pop-up include original hard wood floors, stag heads mounted on the walls and butchers hooks hanging from the ceiling. The interior will have a rural and authentic feel where guests can experience a taste of the wild without stepping outside of London. Private dining is also something which the new Wild Game Co. can offer with an event space available to book on Saturdays and Sundays for up to forty people.
