Shoulder of pork – Ideal for pulled pork

(1kg - 2.5kg)

£6.99 – £17.47

Our Pork comes from our own Gloucester Old Spot pigs born and reared right here on the farm. Except for when giving birth, where they enjoy the comfort of our cosy barns, our pigs are reared outdoors in our willows and fields where they are free to root and forage. They are slower growing than most commercial breeds and we think this, coupled with their stress-free environment, really helps to produce more succulent, flavoursome meat and delicious crackling.

Our in-house butchers are passionate about using traditional methods with a modern flair to create our customers truly special cuts and handmade products.
