The meat here is incredible, everything I've tried has been cooked to perfection. Out of all the wild game the boar is my favourite.
It's a bit on the expensive side but I think the quality of the food just about justifies the price.
Service is excellent but it gets very busy so either go early or during off peak times.

Fitzrovia is about to be overrun by lobster restaurants, but street food veterans Wild Game Co. have arrived first on Charlotte Street to keep those crustaceans at bay. There's no need to look it up on Google Maps, just keep walking until you see a giant stag...
All the meat at Wild Game Co. comes from owner Andy Waugh's family business in the Highlands, Ardgay Game. On the launch menu there are burgers (from £6), salads, bargain steak frites (only £12.50), and heart-warming stovies (£3.50). Expect the likes of partridge, pigeon and rabbit to make an appearance on a specials board soon too.
We went straight for The Veni-moo (£8.50), a venison burger & a Highland beef burger, with double cheese and beef bacon, and home-made bearnaise sauce, with some beef dripping fries (£2.50) on the side. It was a joy to eat, and a cut above anything I had at posh burger joint Bobo Social down the road.
The building sadly doesn't allow for an alcohol license, so there's more Irn Bru than Innis & Gunn, but home-made root beer and more will soon make an appearance.
Wild Game Co. is bound to be very popular as there isn't too much else in this area like it. Pleasantly low prices and speedy service (not to mention delicious food) will appeal to students and the lunch crowd in particular. Andy, still in street food mode, was chatting away to all the customers, and I can imagine you would feel like a regular here in no time. A very promising start - I'll check back again soon.
Keep an eye out for Wild Game Co.'s special events around town such as their 8-course game extravaganza, Struie Road, at Workshop Coffee.
It's also worth perusing their excellent website which has all sorts of enticing recipes and more information on their meat.

An absolute delight. Arrived 7pm to be very warmly welcomed by a smiling team of staff, who provided excellent guidance on the menu without any pushiness toward the more expensive stuff.
The venison burger was like no other burger I've ever had - and I am extremely well versed in burgers. Cooked to absolute perfection with incredible meat. Gorgeous plump bun too. AND THE HAGGIS!! That was one to remember. Unbelievably good. The sauce. The crunch. YUM.
But I have to say with such delicious meat my belly was crying out for a bit of booze to complement it - and this place is booze free. Hopefully this is only temporary as I will most certainly be back regardless!
