The grouse will naturally be sourced from the moorlands of the North York Moors, close to the hotel. Fed on young heather, the game has a delicate taste and is highly sought after, with large sums of money being afforded for a brace in London and the South.
Unlike other game birds pheasant and partridge, which are farm reared and managed, the Red Grouse is a native bird, which runs wild in the moorlands of Northern England and Scotland, where the heather on which it feeds grows. The 101 day season runs until 10th December. Grouse shooting plays a major part in the conservation of the landscape of the Moors and contributes around £150m to the UK economy. This provides a much needed boost to the rural economy through land management, hospitality and traditional craftsmanship.
The iconic Black Swan stands proudly at the head of Helmsley’s market place and has been enjoyed its reputation as a place of excellent hospitality for well over 500 years now. Book online or by calling the hotel on 01439 770 466 to make your reservation.
