Mike Robinson is the UK’s most prominent game chef and champion of game cooking.
As a chef, restaurateur, hunter gatherer and conservationist he is obsessed with wild, sustainable ingredients.
Mike is the proud part owner of the Michelin starred Harwood Arms in Fulham, London which is renowned for its use of game and wild food.
The Woodsman is Mike’s latest project, situated in one of Stratford upon Avon’s oldest hotels in the UK. All dishes are cooked over locally made charcoal or in their wood fired oven.
Mike premieres in a new television series entitled Farming the Wild on the Outdoor Channel here in the US in January 2019 and on MyOutdoorTV.com internationally.
He shares his passion for hunting and cooking amazing wild food and if you look closely, you’ll notice a few familiar knives in the series to include his signature Field Knife No.1 (GP) and our beautiful, high performing Rhineland Cutlery range.
Mike’s TV work also includes presenting ITV’s Countrywise Kitchen in the UK and he owns and runs the highly acclaimed ‘Mike Robinson Game Cookery School’.
When he’s not taking care of all of that, he’s to be found indulging his outdoor passion by handling the deer management on more than 20,000 acres of land in Hampshire, Berkshire and Oxfordshire.
He’s a strong advocate for sustainability, a philosophy he’s embodied for more than 25 years.
He instils this vision in his Robinson Wild Foods business where sustainability and wild go together hand in hand. He works with nature, keeping the balance between man, the environment and nature.

Here’s what Mike had to say about his collaboration with Flint & Flame USA…
“After many years of trying every knife on the market and finding them lacking, I decided to make my own.
Using deer antlers for handles, I started making hunting knives using various blades. This created some very usable knives that worked well.
However, a chance conversation with the Knife masters at Flint & Flame, who make the worlds most useable and professional chefs knives, led to a development process that has taken 3 years and 15 prototypes.
This collaboration has led to the creation of Flint & Flame Outdoor. Initially starting with the Field Knife No.1 (GP), we will be introducing more knives over the coming months.”
