🌶️ Wild Highland Venison Chilli Taco Bowl. 🌶️

Slow-cooked venison chilli, shredded iceberg, guacamole, cheese, corn tortilla chips, pickled red onions and fresh herbs.

And when we say wild Highland venison, we mean it. The mince in this chilli came from the deer we butchered ourselves last week, taking a fantastic local ingredient and using as much of the carcass as we can.

Slow cooked, properly seasoned and absolutely packed with flavour.

On the menu now at The Wild Highland Kitchen 🔥

From carcass to ciabatta 🦌🔥

When we say Wild Highland Kitchen, we really do mean it.

Our venison doesn’t arrive in a packet ready to cook. We take whole, locally sourced wild Highland deer and do the work ourselves, skinning, butchering, brining and seasoning, before the shoulders head into the smoker low and slow until they’re tender enough to pull apart.

Then we pile that smoked venison into a toasted ciabatta with red slaw, mature cheddar, wh**ky BBQ sauce and pickled red onions.

A lot of work goes into one sandwich. But that’s exactly how we think it should be.

Wild Highland venison. Butchered by us. Smoked by us. Served by us.

Our new Smoked Pulled Venison Sandwich is on the menu now. Come try it today! 🦌🏔️🔥

🔥 NEW MENU DAY! 🔥

We’re back on the Highland Food & Drink Trail for the whole of October — and we’ve brought a brand new menu with us.

Over the last few weeks we’ve been busy in the prep kitchen, smoking, brining, confiting, pressing, pickling and generally making an unreasonable amount of delicious food. 🔥

We’ve also managed to get our hands on some fantastic quality wild Highland venison, so we’ve built a big part of the new menu around it. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🦌

And don’t worry… the Haggis Quesadilla survived the menu change. We’re not that brave. 😂

🍂 THE NEW MENU 🍂

🦌 Smoked Pulled Venison Sandwich
Hickory-smoked pulled Highland venison, ciabatta, red slaw, mature cheddar, wh**ky BBQ sauce & pickled red onions.

🔥 Smoked Venison Loaded Fries
Seasoned fries loaded with hickory-smoked pulled venison, cheese, wh**ky BBQ sauce, crispy onions & fresh herbs.

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Haggis Quesadilla
Haggis, caramelised onions & smoked cheese toasted in a quesadilla, served with our wh**ky peppercorn sauce.

🥔 Haggis Loaded Fries
Seasoned fries topped with Scottish haggis, cheese, wh**ky peppercorn sauce, crispy onions & herbs.

🌶️ Highland Venison Chilli Taco Bowl
Slow-cooked venison chilli con carne, shredded iceberg, guacamole, corn tortilla chips, cheese, pickled red onions & herbs.

🦌 Highland Venison Chilli Loaded Fries
Seasoned fries loaded with cheese, slow-cooked venison chilli, avocado sour cream, pickled red onions, taco crumb & herbs.

🥖 Pork Belly Banh Mi
Crusty French baguette, chicken liver pâté, seared confit Scottish pork belly, pickled vegetables, garlic chilli mayo, spring onion, fresh chilli & coriander.

The pork belly alone has been brined, slowly confited, pressed overnight, sliced and seared — because apparently we don’t believe in doing things the easy way.

Local produce. Wild Highland venison. Scottish pork. Big flavours. Proper cooking.

Staff lunch… nothing fancy!!! 👀🔥🎣

We’re back in the prep kitchen this week, getting everything ready for The Wild Highland Kitchen’s return to the Highland Food & Drink Trail next week 😁

We’re also prepping for a private catering job for a group of 14 staying at a beautiful countryside lodge — so there’s plenty happening behind the scenes.

Obviously, all that cooking works up an appetite…

Today’s very humble staff lunch:

Puttanesca gnocchi with seared Scottish bluefin tuna. 🐟🍅

One of the occupational hazards of having chefs in the kitchen is that “we’ll just make something quick for lunch” occasionally gets a little out of hand. 😂

Back to prep now…

We had a fantastic time at your first wedding show in Elgin on Sunday. It was exciting to meet all the lovely couples planning their big day.

Hopefully we can be a part of that day and make the food add to the memories. 💙

Absolutely thrilled to be invited to be a judge at the Rotary Clubs Masterchef competition in Dingwall Academy. It was an especially nice moment for myself as when I was 14 I entered the same competition at my high school in Aberdeenshire and won, thus beginning my career in Hospitality. 😁👍
