Tamworth

boisterous ginger pigs
Rare Breed

Why this breed

The hardy, boisterous Tamworth loves outdoor living, with the two most famous Tamworths, Butch and Sundance going on the run in the late nineties (if you recall). This breed doesn't thrive in factory farming systems, so the breed has never really been intensively reared, meaning this breed's integrity and flavour has remained preserved for centuries. With the marbling of fat through its meat and its outer layer of tasty fat, the Tamworth is renowned for its eating quality, and particularly famous for its marvelous bacon.

Exceptional quality

We work closely with dedicated farmers across the UK who share our belief in ethical, sustainable agriculture. Every cut we offer is fully traceable, hand-selected, and expertly butchered to showcase the unique characteristics of each breed.


Whether it's the buttery tenderness of Belted Galloway beef, the rich succulence of Middle White pork, or the delicate flavour of Herdwick lamb, our breeds represent the pinnacle of British farming heritage.
