The end of the shooting season does have a silver lining at least for the villagers in the tiny hamlet of Shearsby in Leicestershire. To mark the end of the season the annual game lunch is celebrated at the Chandlers Arms, Shearsby’s quaint little pub on the village green. Residents cook their own speciality recipe from the game harvest and take them to the village pub for all to enjoy. Pheasant, partridge, duck, rabbit, hare, venison, muntjac and woodcook all grace the tables in this gastronomic extravaganza. The annual event has gone on longer than anyone can remember and the pub landlords Steve and Karen say it is a unique occasion which they are pleased to host. The Chandlers Arms is renowned for its real ales which are a perfect accompaniment for the feast.
