The Country Victualler are very proud to be the sole producer of the supreme and multi-award-winning Alderton ham. “A Rick Stein Food Hero and he knows what he’s talking about”.The Country Victualler is proud to have supplied Alderton Hams to Partridges of Sloane Street since their opening in 1973, also Fortnum and Mason. Created in the small village of Alderton by Colonel Dickinson, late of the Royal Ulster Rifles, his recipe for this deliciously moist and succulently sweet ham with a smokey undertone has been passed down through the generations but never altered. It’s still made today as he originally created it. Steamed and then baked with a traditional Marmalade glaze, to our secret recipe, is what makes this ham a firm favourite with the well-heeled of London and ham lovers across the Country.
This feast worthy ham is deliciously roasted in honey and cloves to give it a sweet aromatic flavour. Wonderful for special occasions or to have on hand to feed unexpected guests. Any remaining can be used in a beautiful honey roast ham sandwich. The pork is succulent and tender with a delicate covering of fat adding to the succulence during cooking, just like ham used to be.
Purely and simply a deliciously unadulterated ham. Perfect with eggs for breakfast, a sandwich for lunch or a spaghetti carbonara for supper.
After many requests for a smaller version of our hams, we created our Mini Ham. Perfect for smaller gatherings and boneless for easy carving. Exactly the same as our other Hams, cut from the cured leg.
Awarded Gold at the Prestigious Great Taste Awards. An exquisitely delicately smoked ham, lightly smoked and gently steamed. The smoking process imparts a remarkable flavor that will delight all palates.
Victualler’s Orange & Stout Boneless Ham Victualler’s Ham – Full of flavour, we keep the exact recipe a secret, but we believe it’s our unique marinade, together with a traditional marmalade glaze that makes this ham so special.
This strong, hot mustard follows the Victorian tradition of mustard making. Tempered by the judicious use of spices and vinegar, it is great with traditional English food such as hand-raised pork pies and good pork sausages!
