Levels' Best game and fish will either be wild or produced under Soil Association Certified Organic Standards.
Rabbit and pheasant will be wild game from a shoot on the Levels and Moors. Wild duck will also be included (see poultry for farmed Aylesbury duck) and venison is farmed to organic standards within the Levels.
With access to the Bristol Channel by the last surviving mud horse, shrimps and prawns are harvested at low tide. They are collected from nets positioned in the main channel about half a mile off the cost to the west of Bridgwater Bay. Sales of these tasty crustaceans are only for the Mud Horse Hut at Stolford.
Any Levels' Best game and fish is only available when in season.
