Executive Head Chef, Chris McMenamin shares his hearty Venison Stew recipe  Venison is a healthy alternative to beef as it is lower in fat. I prefer Venison at this time of year because of its rich gamey flavour and unique taste.

Irish venison is best as the deer feed on grass in Spring and Summer, leaving the meat lean and tender.
