Breast of Gressingham duck
Pan grilled with spices and accompanied by a sauce of fresh oranges, fennel and cinnamon. (We cook this unique variety of duck medium rare to ensure that it retains its succulence and fantastic gamey flavour) The Gressingham Duck was created by crossing the Wild Mallard with the Pekin Duck (a domesticated variety bred in China). The result is a duck bursting with wonderfully succulent flavoursome meat.
