For the best results in your roasted pork shoulder, remove from the vacuum bag a day prior, dry with kitchen roll and leave in the fridge to dry further. The next day lightly oil the skin and season well with salt.

Preheat the oven to 230°C and add the pork shoulder in a thick bottomed roasting dish. Roast the pork for 30 minutes or until the skin is really crackled and crispy.

lower the temperature to 170°C and cover with foil. Now roast for another 3 hours + 30 minutes per kilo over 2 kilos.

Remove from the oven and rest well for one hour. Carve across the grain into nice slices.

All our meat is delivered frozen.

We deliver it to you in insulated sustainable wool packaging that can keep it frozen for 72hrs. When you receive your meat please put it straight in the freezer. Even if it has defrosted it is ok to put back in the freezer as long as it is not warm.

We deliver it frozen for a number of critical reasons:

• Natures preservative. Freezing is one of the most ancient of all methods of preservation. We firmly believe that when frozen rapidly there is no loss of quality in the meat.

• Sustainability. By freezing our meat we can ensure there is as close to zero waste as possible. Our meat is frozen as soon as it is butchered in protective packaging that allows us to keep the meat perfectly for over a year. This is vs 10 days for fresh.

• Seasonality. Like vegetables, meat has a season. By freezing our meat we can select our produce when it is at its very best. Fresh meat butchers cannot do this and you can taste the difference in our meat.

• Better supporting farmers. For our farmers it is most profitable for them to get the produce off the farm as soon as it is ready. This allows us to support them better.
