Are there any reliable suppliers of this? Especially gammon.

Got a small gammon joint from the butchers for Christmas this year and wasn't very impressed.

Seems hardest of all the meats to find in the supermarkets. The more I've looked the more I see a lot of it is from Germany/Holland and has added water.

Wonder if Aldi up here in Scotland has any decent offerings given they have a lot of Scotch Beef/Lamb and Specially Selected Pork.

I buy pig escalopes from Farmison and they've never been watery, if that helps

We've used these before, purchased a side of their heritage breed pork. It's an absolute world away from supermarket and even decent butcher meat, there is a huge amount of fat on it - something the high street won't accept.

They also do Dexter beef too, never ordered online from them as the farm is fairly local to us and whenever we have used we've just ordered a couple of days in advance (the beef needs more notice) but they will add you to a mailing list and let you know when they send something for slaughter and they have some spare.

On the back of your post I googled Hampshire/Surrey pig farms, about a dozen results, with these chaps only 5 miles away.
I'll find out who their local stockists are, for my benefit smile

Not close to you I know but you could see if there's anything similar near you?
