  • The night before you plan to cook your gammon, take it out of its wrapping and soak it overnight in a bowl full of cold water. 

    Fill a large casserole dish with water and gently bring the gammon to the boil. Discard the water, rinse and pop the gammon back into the empty pan and refill with fresh cold water. 

    Cut an onion in half, snap off a stick of celery, chop a carrot in half and submerge in the water. Add a few bay leaves and some cloves. Then place the pan back over a medium heat, bringing the pan to a simmer, while being careful not to boil.

    Cook the Gammon for 55 minutes per kilo. 

    Once cooked remove the gammon from the saucepan and pop it into a roasting dish. At this moment remove the rind, score the fat and stud the gammon with cloves, orange peel and bay leaves.

    Slather a good helping of our honey glaze over the top of the scored fat and pop the roasting dish into a hot preheated oven (190C) and bake for 15-20 minutes per kilo.

  • Your meat will arrive frozen.When your gammon arrives simply pop it straight into your freezer.If any of your meat has thawed on arrival it is safe to pop straight in the freezer.How to DefrostSimply, drop the items still in their individual packaging into cool water and wait for around 15 minutes until they are fully thawed.

  • It's cut from the leg of our native breed pork, then brine-cured and air-dried using traditional methods for a remarkable flavour and texture. Because the pigs are naturally reared, joints vary in shape and fat level.

  • Soak it overnight in cold water first. Bring to the boil in fresh water with onion, celery, carrot, bay and cloves, then simmer for around 55 minutes per kg. Remove the rind, score the fat, stud with cloves, glaze, and bake at 190C for 15 to 20 minutes per kg.

  • Gammon is cured in a salt brine, so soaking it overnight in cold water, and starting it in fresh water, helps draw out excess salt for a better balanced flavour. This step is worth doing before the main cook.
