Gammon Joint

If you’re after a classic joint that’s packed with flavour and perfect for feeding a crowd, our 2.4kg gammon joint is just the job. Hand-prepared by our expert butchers and sourced from trusted, British pig farms, it’s ideal for roasting or boiling, depending on how you like it. For best results, soak overnight if you prefer a milder flavour, then cook low and slow until piping hot all the way through.
Delicious served hot with roast potatoes and greens or sliced cold for sandwiches and salads, this joint is a brilliant all-rounder; (we’d recommend finishing with a honey and mustard glaze for a golden, sticky crust that takes it to the next level!). Keep in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze on arrival if you’re saving it for a special occasion. Still unsure about our gammon?
