Whether it’s taking pride of place on a ploughman’s platter, being folded into an omelette, or getting sandwiched with a smear of mustard between two slices of bread, proper thick-cut ham is king. And if you’ve missed being able to pick up a few slices from the instore counter, you’ll be pleased to hear it’s now available to buy alongside other cold cuts in the chiller aisle.

Choose from roast gammon (delicately cured and slow cooked for a mild succulent finish), honey-roast ham (from joints infused with honey and then roasted for a rich sweet flavour), and honey and mustard ham (dry cured and infused with honey and mustard before being slow cooked and then glazed with even more honey and mustard). All are made from selected cuts of British outdoorbred pork leg and are instore now.
