Gerard's Suggestion

"I like to gently cook this joint for up to two hours, at a slightly higher temperature than for a whole leg.
Aim to be a little pink in the middle, it is essential to rest your joint, before serving it with a delicious rich gravy and roasted veg."

Why you will love our Half Leg of Hogget...

  • Traditional roast with big flavour
  • Dry-aged for exceptional taste and texture
  • Perfect for slow or quick roasting

A half leg of our locally reared hogget is an excellent choice for smaller gatherings, serving 4-6 people with ease. We cut our legs in half, leaving the shank on so the joint provides a wonderful variety of textures – from the rich, sticky shank to the lean, tender section that’s easy to carve.

Hung for over two weeks, the meat develops a remarkable tenderness and deep, full-bodied flavour, which is further enhanced when cooked on the bone. Whether slow-cooked for a melt-in-the-mouth experience or roasted in the traditional way, this joint delivers exceptional results. Remember to rest the joint after cooking to bring out its depth of flavour - this makes all the difference!

Our hogget is sourced exclusively from local Suffolk farms that share our ethical and environmental values. We are proud to work with dedicated farmers such as Hugh Crossley at the Somerleyton Estate, Alan Peck at Erpingham, and John and Alice Pawsey at Shimpling Park Farm. All our hogget is pasture-fed, grazing on lush spring and autumn pastures, ensuring exceptional quality and taste. These close relationships with trusted farmers allow us to uphold the highest standards, delivering hogget that is rich in flavour, tender, and sustainably produced.

On occasions during the year, we are delighted to offer Organic Hogget from Shimpling Park, near Lavenham. Since converting to organic farming in 1999, Shimpling Park has flourished, nurturing its pastures without artificial chemicals. We highly recommend trying this wonderful organic hogget when it's available - simply select 'Shimpling Park Organic' from the dropdown above.
