Why you will love our Hogget Mince...
- 80% lean hogget meat
- Rich, robust and full-bodied flavour
- Perfect for hearty slow-cooked dishes
Hogget mince is so terrific, it has an extra layer of rich flavour to lamb mince and really holds up well to long, slow cooking. It is relatively lean too. Use this for shepherds pie, moussaka, middle eastern lamb patties, or to make your own koftes (so easy.)
This wonderful mince comes from our exceptional, heritage breed hogget which is between 12-24 months old at slaughter and has had the best part of two summers grazing on the wild flowers and grasses of this quiet corner of Suffolk. The extra grazing time on our rich 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.

Gerard's Suggestion
"Delicious when mixed with finely chopped onion, garlic and middle eastern spices before shaping into koftes. Place on the BBQ or bake in the oven until cooked through.
Great for your shepherds pie, or moussaka too!"

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.

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.
