Borough Market is a source of quality British and international produce, but it is more than just a place to buy or sell food. It’s a place where people come to connect, to share food and awaken their senses.
Borough has long been synonymous with food markets and as far back as 1014, and probably much earlier, London Bridge attracted traders selling grain, fish, vegetables and livestock. In the 13th century traders were relocated to what is now Borough High Street and a market has existed there ever since.
Borough Market’s mission is to continue to provide a world class food market at Borough for the community of London and beyond. Borough Market is the only fully independent market in London. It is owned by a charitable trust and run by a board of volunteer trustees. The trust is committed to supporting the local community around Borough Market.
We regularly run community events and we support local community projects and schemes.

Highland Game, was founded in 1997, by Danish entrepreneur Christian Nissen, when he acquired the production unit from a poultry & game dealer in Dundee. Christian had a clear vision from the very start to achieve wider popularity of venison by making it available through mainstream retail channels.
At the time, venison was not widely consumed in the UK and was mainly sold through butchers and delicatessens. In fact, in 1997 just 5% of venison produced in the UK was consumed domestically, with 95% exported, mainly to France and Germany.
Over the years, Highland Game has successfully created awareness and sales of venison – daily supplying ASDA, Aldi, Coop, Lidl, Morrisons, Tesco and Waitrose as well as to manufacturers and distributors of the catering and restaurant trade, in UK including Costco, Booker and on the Continent.
The company has also launched 3 cook books; "The Name of the Game", "Venison" and "7 Days in Scotland" backed with Venison Master Classes and Cookery Tours throughout the country.
Today, Highland Game is the market leader and influencer, employing over 100 members of staff.
The Wild Meat Company source and sell venison, game birds, rabbit and even squirrel entirely from farms and estates in east Suffolk and deliver it to your door, as well as a number of butchers and supermarkets in Suffolk. Our aim is to take the muck and mystery out of buying, preparing and eating game. We were named as one of Rick Stein's Food Heroes and highly praised by Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall. We also sell ethically farmed meat including Blythburgh Free Range Pork, Sutton Hoo chicken and Gressingham Duck.
