Since April 2008 Tom Browne of Smallbrook Farm, Newton St Cyres, Devon has been supplying us with our larger ‘bacon’ pigs - finally making the boxes 100% organic. He has established a 100 sow herd of DurocXLandrac gilts which he is crossing with HampshireXDuroc boars which are ideal for our sausages, bacon and ham. Tom’s family have farmed at Smallbrook Farm for generations. For more images of his handsome pigs and piglets, look to our organic pork page.|

  pork roasting guide
 

Take your joint out of the fridge 30 minutes before cooking to bring to room temperature. Always sit a trimmed leek or onion under your joint of pork; it will caramelise and add both colour and flavour to your gravy - discard after cooking. Oven temperatures differ and so this guide is approximate - (NOTE: always test pork by inserting a skewer into the thickest part of the joint, juices must run clear, not pink).
chined loin* or boneless shoulder joints
Pre heat the oven to 180°C and allow:
35 min / 500g plus 35 min and rest for 10-15 min
*if you want to get crisp crackling then roast the loin for 20 min at 240°C then drop to 180°C for a slightly reduced overall cooking time
boneless leg joint
Pre heat the oven to 180°C and allow:
35 min / 450g plus 35 min and rest for 10 min
