Well, Josh has saved a cracker for last 🥧🍺

Our final Pie & Pint deal this year is Wild Venison, Chilli 🌶️ & Dark Chocolate 🍫- Rich wild venison, a gentle kick of chilli and dark chocolate bringing a deep, savoury finish.

It’s a proper cold weather pie territory, paired with a pint and for one last winter feed.

Last one for a while, so don’t be the person hearing about it afterwards.

See you tomorrow at The 🦆
