Looking at raw food for my staff and found natures menu sell rabbit dinner and thought that sounds good,till ilooked on the ingridients list,70% chicken 30% rabbit. The lamb has different meat in aswell. My dog is allergic to chicken ,will have to look elsewhere!
 
Natures menu is a wet food rather than a raw food. If you want to feed raw you're probably best off in a butchers and not a pet shop.
 
I just buy mine from the local butcher - ox heart, tongue, kidney, liver etc. Assorted giblets too. Sometimes I buy fish such as sprats, or a tray of cheap chicken wings from Tesco for variety. I spend about one hour a week weighing and portioning up the meat which is then frozen or kept in plastic containers in the fridge until needed.
 
Natures menu is raw. They do wet cat food which is steamed (have it for our aging cats who are preferring it to their old kibble) as well as raw cat food, but their dog food is all raw.
If you contact them they may be able to suggest something.

I'm not sure if they are raw (don't think so), but nature diet is very good and they do foods without chicken in (you mentioned rabbit: http://www.naturediet.co.uk/product/rabbit-turkey/) they also have a tonne of helpful factsheets and you can contact them for help

ETA: chicken is added as it is high in protein and is a good bulk food, Nature diet don't have chicken in their rabbit, fish, lamb, or sensitive foods :)

Here is the naturediet factsheet on the whole raw thing http://www.naturediet.co.uk/naturediet/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/ND_FACT_BARFNaturediet.pdf

They have a tonne of factsheets about all sorts of things, well worth a read :)

It's easy to get raw food over here as we have lots of little local slaughterhouses. You can buy all the organs in whatever format you want, in bulk. The meat you can buy either as joints, steaks, chops etc or they also will cube them for you. We can buy fresh or frozen. We do have some pet stores who sell "raw" tubes but I think they are all processed (irradiated).
