What is The Scottish Venison Cookery Theatre
The Scottish Venison Cookery Theatre is a great way to explore Scottish produce and how to get the best from our game.
The best of Scottish food has always been at the heart of The GWCT Scottish Game Fair and every year visitors flock to The Scottish Version Cookery Theatre to be inspired by well-known chefs and cookery experts.
The main remit is game cookery and you can watch popular names from the cookbook, restaurant and kitchen world. Ardgay Game and Perthshire Game are both integral members of the Scottish Venison Association (SVA), and will be supplying venison for the Cookery Theatre.
Ardgay Game is a second-generation, family-run business with nearly forty years of experience sourcing the finest venison from the Highland estates of Scotland.We pride ourselves on honesty, integrity, and a deep-rooted commitment to quality and the community. All our butchery is carried out in-house by our local team of skilled butchers, who combine tradition with technology to produce the finest meat—prepared to the exceptional standard our customers deserve, and have come to expect from Ardgay Game. Our passion for Highland venison runs through everything we do, from careful sourcing to expert preparation, ensuring every cut reflects the purity, provenance, and rich heritage of the Scottish Highlands.
