Always particularly popular at Christmas, but ideal for round the year cooking, the word 'gammon' can be traced back to the old French word 'jambon' for ham. This particular roasting joint is unsmoked and is sometimes referred to as "Green Gammon", which means the meat is cured in brine but remains uncooked.
Our Specially Selected Pork is from Quality Meat Scotland Certified assured farms. These are beautifully marbled resulting in a much more flavoursome and tender meat. Any leftovers from this joint can also be used to make a fantastic stock for any ham soup.
Our master butchers prepare your order fresh on the day of despatch - nothing is "off the shelf”.

All raw meat products must be cooked thoroughly until they are piping hot.
Your meat order is kept cool in transit because we either use an insulated expanded polystyrene box, or a recyclable tough corrugated cardboard box which is foil lined and insulated with bubble wrap. Both boxes are leak-proof and sturdy.
To keep your delivery cool, it is packed along with specially designed ice packs. Our ice packs are made with a frozen water-based gel, which keeps the meat at the correct temperature for up to 48 hours. When the ice does melt, it stays as a gel, which prevents the delivery becoming wet.
