A game pie always makes a spectacular centrepiece and this handsome example is amazingly straightforward to make – especially if you buy mixed game meat ready-prepared from a good butcher.

Equipment and preparation: you will need a 20cm/8in spring-form cake tin, about 7cm/2¾in deep.

Main course

Preparation
