Why you will love our Hogget Chops...

  • Dry aged for enhanced flavour and tenderness
  • Grass-fed for rich, full taste
  • Perfect for slow roasting to bring out deep, hearty flavours

These are so delicious and full of flavour - a lovely combination of fat and meat to really give you an old fashioned meal. Hogget chops are best cooked as you would lamb, but do remember to sear the fat on all sides for extra depth of flavour. And always leave these to rest for a short while before eating! 

Our hogget chops come from exceptional, heritage breed sheep that are between 12-24 months old at slaughter, which means they have had the best part of two springs and summers grazing on the wild flowers and grasses of this quiet corner of Suffolk. The extra grazing time on our varied meadows really does give hogget the most excellent flavour, and unlike mutton it can be very tender, so doesn't always require such a low, long cook.

We dry-hang our hogget for up to two weeks here in the shop, to really make the most of the flavour and tenderness of this fantastic meat. 

Allow for two chops per person.

Want to know more?

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. These close relationships with trusted farmers allow us to uphold the highest standards, delivering hogget that is rich in flavour, tender, and sustainably produced.

These exceptional, heritage breed animals are between 12-24 months old and have had the best part of two summers grazing on the wild flowers and grasses of this quiet corner of Suffolk. The extra grazing time really does give hogget the most excellent flavour, and unlike mutton it can be very tender, so doesn't always require such a low, long cook.

Because we are a whole-carcass butchery our pasture-fed hoggets arrive whole, so we butcher on site after dry-aging. We like to hang our hogget for a minimum of 10-14 days to make the most of this tender and flavourful meat.

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.
