Why you will love our Oak Smoked Gammon, Free-Range...
- Free-Range, native breed pork from our local farmers
- Lightly smoked, a delicate flavour
- A classic favourite for large gatherings
This delicious gammon has been traditionally Wiltshire cured then lightly smoked over beech and oak. The smoking gives it a slightly more complex flavour than an unsmoked gammon. If you prefer smoked bacon to unsmoked, this is the gammon for you.
This wonderful joint comes from our local, heritage breed, free-range pigs and has been traditionally cured. We bone out the gammon and roll it for you, making carving an easy job. Simply boil, add your glaze and roast in a hot oven for twenty minutes or so. Once cooked, the ham will last for a week or so in the fridge (if you can resist that long!) Or you can simmer this joint, peel away the skin and serve in slices with parsley sauce. Either way, these smoked gammons really are delicious.
All our pork comes from pigs which are slow-grown and have had plenty of time to root and forage happily, resulting in a pork with lots of marbling and amazing flavour. These heritage breed pigs have been reared on small Suffolk farms by farmers who really care about their animals. We dry-age our pork for at least two weeks, which allows the meat to develop a deeper flavour, and helps the skin to dry out naturally, resulting in a cracking crackling.
A whole gammon normally weighs around 4.5kg - 5kg and can feed up to twenty people. If you're looking for something smaller, a half gammon is around 2.2kg - 2.8kg.

Our exceptional pork comes from free-range pigs raised in the light, sandy soils of East Suffolk. This unique environment allows them to root and forage naturally, resulting in pork known for its traditional flavour, excellent marbling, and a delicious fat covering for perfect crackling. We source our heritage breed pork from a select group of local farms, including the wonderful 'British Lops' from Thatched House Farm on the Broads, where our farmers prioritise first-rate animal welfare and husbandry. These close partnerships ensure consistently high-quality pork with exceptional flavour and texture. To enhance its character and ensure excellent crackling, we dry-age the pork on the bone for up to two weeks in our hanging chiller.
> Slow cook and Roast
1. Place your gammon in a large saucepan and cover with water. Add a bay leaf or two and perhaps, some peppercorns.
2. Bring to the boil, then change the water to fresh cold water and bring to the boil again. Leave to simmer until nearly cooked (about an hour for the half and two hours for the whole).
3. Remove from the water and carefully cut off the skin, leaving the fat in place.
4. Add a marinade of your choice (ie honey, mustard, brown sugar, marmalade etc) and then place in a hot oven until cooked.
5. Rest for half an hour then carve and enjoy!
