Organic Pork
From quick-and-tasty suppers, sizzling breakfast favourites and slow-cooked, indulgent Sunday lunches, here at we believe pork really does offer it all. Our pork joints give you the crunchiest crackling and tender meat that offers a huge amount of flavour, whilst fuss-free cuts like our pork chops provide succulence from the internal marbling. We rear organic pigs that are a cross of traditional, native breeds that thrive in the conditions we have down in the West Country. They live in sociable family groups and grow slowly to ensure their meat has great flavour and texture, balanced by just the right amount of fat.
