Why you will love our Shoulder Of Hogget...

  • Rich, unctuous flavour for indulgence
  • Perfect for slow-cooked Sunday roasts
  • Serve family-style for casual dining

This joint really is the ultimate for a long slow roast on Sunday to share with friends and family. It's so easy to cook, and serving is more casual: think pulled apart on a big plate on the table for everyone to help themselves.

These exceptional, heritage breed hoggets 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.

We like to dry-hang our whole hogget carcasses for up to two weeks, to ensure exceptional flavour and tenderness. 

Expect a shoulder to serve 8-10.

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.

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.
