Wild British game - it's seasonal, it's local, no wonder London chefs are loving putting it on their menus. Everyone goes crazy when grouse hits restaurants for The Glorious Twelfth in August, but the game season is now fully on with everything from partridge to woodcock and mallard available. We've picked out a few hero dishes where you can try it in London right now.
