Locally sourced free-range meat
Oxford Sandy and Black pork, Aberdeen Angus beef and Herdwick lamb are all sourced locally from farms just a few miles away from The Black Pig. All three are traditional British breeds prized for their good fat covering and depth of flavour. The traditional farming practices in place on these farms, which include a varied natural diet, longer suckling periods and a free-range existence, all contribute to the quality of the meat produced. Carcasses are delivered whole to the shop each week which enables a bespoke butchery service where customers can have meat prepared exactly to their requirements.
Stour Valley Game supply a large range of game birds, rabbits, squirrels and hare, all sourced from local woodland. The Savanna Kitchen supplies wild venison culled from private estates and woodland in Kent and beyond. Game is celebrated for its wide variety of flavours, its low fat content, its generally organic status and its contribution to conserving woodland. The Black pig offers game throughout the seasons.
Sutton Hoo Chicken’s, Suffolk began in 1994 when Charles & Belinda Nash decided to set up a truly free-range chicken farm in the Suffolk countryside they both loved. After Charles’ passing in 2009, Belinda and Charles’ godson, Will, carried on the couple’s mission. The traditional breed used is a slower growing chicken; grown on average for 10 weeks and 25% longer than standard free-range chickens. The chickens produced have a deep flavour, dry skin that crisps up and a layer of fat that creates a succulent texture.
