Countryman Fairs

If you want to keep up to date with what is happening on the game fairs front, then look no further than countryman fairs .

Countryman Fairs have been organising nationally acclaimed events for over 20 years. The superb standards and value offered by each show are reflected by both the growing visitor numbers and the ongoing support of major countryside societies and associations, who are proud to be linked to these prestigious shows.
Countryman Fairs have developed an award-winning event structure that brings the same superb array of demonstrators, competitions and exhibitors to every show. This is then enhanced by a wide variety of extra attractions and features that add interest and excitement for visitors. Countryman Fairs shows provide entertainment and have-a-go activities for everyone interested in field sports and country life, whatever their age or level of ability.
The dynamic management team are bringing a fresh outlook to the world of country pursuits, drawing upon a wealth of knowledge and experience from everyone associated with Countryman Fairs. Attendance figures for the Midland Game Fair continue to grow, with a target of 100,000 visitors within three years. The three smaller shows are expected to reach 50,000 visitors each within the same timeframe. Visit a Countryman Fairs event and see the future of field sports.

Mark Gilchrist is Game For Everything !

For some time now I have been watching Mark Gilchrist on youtube as he is the master when it comes to cooking game of all kinds. After asking Mark if he would like me to do a post on him and his website he said " Yes Please", so here it is.

“Game for Everything” is a specialist game catering company based in the heart of rural Kent and run by head chef Mark Gilchrist.

All our ingredients are sourced locally, our meat is all free-range or wild and evidently, much has been in range of Mark's 12-Bore. To ensure total control of quality in aspects of the final product, including the all important taste, all of our meals are always prepared completely from scratch.

Have a look at our new video section which has on-line cooking demonstrations illustrating some of our techniques.

Our philosophy is simple as with all good slow food, it should always be good, clean and fair.
Head chef of Game For Everything, Mark, holds vast experience and respect within the worlds of both catering and game.

Mark started both shooting and cooking when he was just seven years old and this passion has spawned Game For Everything. Mark's unique knowledge of the whole process of preparing game: shooting, skinning, butchering and cooking, has led to an international demand for his services and much press attention. Most recently he appeared on Gordon Ramsay's The F-Word, BBC Radio 4's Food Show, Market Kitchen and telegraphonline.

Mark writes a regular column in Sporting Shooting magazine, where he prepares and cooks different items of game every month.
