Deer Park

Working estate
Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI)
Stunning historic location

Wild deer have been kept at Donington Park for almost a thousand years, over which time it has built up a rich history and tradition. Today it works as part of the Park Farmhouse estate, allowing us to serve our own venison on all our menus, all year around.

We’re committed to conserving the natural habitats of the park; a heritage which includes not only the deer but also very rare species of insect life which live in the park’s ancient Oak trees, a collection worthy of protection in their own right. We work with Natural England in the preservation of the insect and tree species and are advised by the British Deer Society on the conservation of the red and fallow deer herds.
