Frequently Asked Questions

What makes your Native Breed Pork different from regular pork?
Our Native Breed Pork comes from British pigs raised on family farms prioritising animal welfare and land stewardship. The pigs are slow-grown and genuinely free range, resulting in meat that reflects the landscape and traditional farming practices that support biodiversity and soil health.
How is the pork raised to ensure high animal welfare standards?
Our pigs are raised on family farms where animal welfare is paramount, allowing natural behaviours and slow rearing. These traditional, sustainable practices ensure the animals live with dignity and care, which is reflected in the quality of the meat.
Are your pork products free from additives and artificial preservatives?
Yes, many of our cuts such as the unsmoked gammon and back bacon are slow cured using traditional methods without artificial additives, preserving natural flavour and integrity.
How should I store and handle the pork once it arrives?
Please keep the pork refrigerated and use within the recommended time on the packaging. For longer storage, freeze promptly to preserve freshness and flavour. Thaw slowly in the fridge before cooking.
What does native breed mean for pork?
Native breed pigs are traditional British breeds that grow slowly and carry more fat through the meat than modern commercial hybrids. That fat is where the flavour lives, which is why native breed pork eats so differently from standard supermarket pork.
Why is properly free range pork so hard to find?
Most British pork comes from pigs that spend their lives indoors. Genuinely free range herds are a small minority because they need land, time and higher welfare standards. Ours are slow grown outdoors on family farms.
What pork cuts and products do you sell?
Everything from the everyday to the occasion: mince, sausages, chops, loin steaks, tenderloin, belly, boneless shoulder, back and streaky bacon, cocktail sausages and pigs in blankets.
Who makes your sausages?
Our Original Sausages are made by Philip Warrens, the Cornish butchery family we partner with, alongside our own varieties like Rustic Garlic & Herb and Cheese & Red Onion Marmalade.
How do I get good crackling?
Dry skin, salt and fierce initial heat. Pat the skin thoroughly dry, score it if it is not already, rub with salt, and start the joint in a very hot oven before dropping to moderate. Belly and shoulder both crackle well.
Which pork cut should I slow cook?
Boneless shoulder is the classic: four to five gentle hours turns it into pulled pork. Belly also rewards patience, keeping its richness while turning meltingly soft below crisp skin.
What is the quickest pork cut for a midweek meal?
Tenderloin or loin steaks. Tenderloin roasts in around 20 minutes and stays juicy if you rest it. Loin steaks pan-fry in minutes; just do not overcook them, as native breed pork is at its best a little blushing.
Is your bacon from the same pigs?
Yes. Our back and streaky bacon comes from the same slow grown, native breed, free range pigs as the fresh pork, traditionally cured rather than pumped with water.
