We are taking orders for Christmas.
Please let us know what you would like in advance so that you are not disappointed, as it will depend on stocks available.

Wow. We are absolutely shattered. A very late night last night (02:30am) and a very early start at 05:15 this morning getting everything ready for The Taste Of Wickham Festival today. Thankfully the weather was good to us this year and there was no rain although there were a few gusty breezes during the day.

The Square was packed and all of the 60 stall holders looked like they have had a good day.

For our part, we had a lovely day- the children (young ones and older versions -called adults) loved feeding and making a fuss of the three goats (Msasa, Mopani and Whistler.) who were all very well behaved and didn’t try and escape once. The two food stalls, like previous years, were a success with our cooked sausages having an almost constant queue with the demand for the two goat and two pork flavours- particular the spicy goat sausage. Every time they thought it was going quiet and they could have a break, the queue would form again. The fresh meat stall next door was just as busy with a nearly sell out day and our new flavoured goat sausage of rosemary and tomato was a resounding success

Thank you so much to all our helpers today, without your help it would not be as successful let alone possible to pull off all that was needed

So thank you to Bob, Mick, Jan, and Marie for your help on the goat stall and a big thank you to Shane and Matt for spending a long, warm day cooking over hot BBQ (braai).

Thank you to all our customers- returning regulars and newcomers to goat meat. See you again next year

Two days to go- all busy, busy, busy getting organised and praying that this “Indian Summer” weather holds until Sunday night

This is pure goat meat (no additives) - we are getting ready for Sunday and started getting the meat weighed up and labelled for our Taste of Wickham Festival
Here we have some chops, noisettes, half a rack, half leg bone in and a half b***d and rolled shoulder.

05/09/2018

Here we go again. You can be guaranteed that if you buy any meat from us, it is what it says on the label - if it says goat, it will only be goat. If it says pork, it will only be pork.

Please check the provenance of your meat, buy local if you can

The food safety watchdog says levels of contamination are consistent with "deliberate inclusion".

Meet Msasa, Mopani and Whistler- who will be making an appearance at the Taste of Wickham and waiting for a fuss especially by children and being fed.

04/09/2018

Only a few days to go until the lovely festival is back

The goats (Msasa, Mopani and Whistler) are looking forward to meeting some friendly people, getting a fuss and being fed some tasty goat food.

Taste of Wickham is operating a Park and Ride/Park and Stride system again this year.

Park and Stride is situated at Park Place, PO17 5HA, which is a 10 minute walk to the Square - likely to fill up first.

Our Park and Ride is in the field opposite McCarthy's, PO17 5HE, where we have three mini buses on site ready to take you to the Square!

Parking in these car parks is free of charge, however some of our car park stewards will be Meon Valley Explorer Scouts who are hoping customers will add to their fundraising efforts for their 2019 Expeditions.

If you would like to donate, please bring some change and pop it in their buckets on the day.

Thank you!
