Grouse is great value this year, being less expensive that it has been for years. So why not take this oportunity to try it.

With a strong aroma, distinctive flavour and little fat content beneath the skin, it’s no wonder the grouse is such a hit with professional chefs.

At the moment grouse is excellent value at £7.00 each. So why not take this great opportunity to try this delicacy whilst it’s truly affordable (less than half it’s normal price!).

You can buy grouse at JW Mettrick & Son by visiting here or via in-store.

As with all of Mettrick’s products, our grouse is taken straight from the moors in the surrounding Peak District areas of Glossop. This ensures maximum freshness and quality.

This Tuesday 9/2/10, the BBC were filming the ir lunchtime business progreamme Working Lunch at Mettricks shop in Glossop.
