Pork Reserve – Your Pig, Your Way

Reserve a whole, half or quarter of our outdoor-reared pork | Butchered exactly how you like it

Our Pork Reserve is the most traditional, honest way to buy pork: reserve a whole, half or quarter of one of our pigs, and have it butchered to suit exactly how you cook and eat. Raised outdoors here on our Derbyshire family farm, and prepared just for you.

It’s the best value per kilo, fully traceable from our fields to your freezer, and no two orders are ever the same.

About our pork

Our pigs live outdoors, free to root and roam, and are slow-grown for proper flavour and a natural covering of fat. That outdoor life — the way pork used to be — is what sets it apart from anything you’ll find on a supermarket shelf.

• Outdoor-reared on our Derbyshire farm
• Slow-grown for flavour, never intensively farmed
• Full traceability, from our field to your plate

How much you’ll get

Our pigs typically range between 65–95kg deadweight. After butchery and trimming, expected take-home packaged weights are:

• Quarter Pig: approx. 11–17kg — a lovely introduction, ideal for couples or smaller households
• Half Pig: approx. 23–33kg — fills around two freezer drawers, weeks of dinners
• Whole Pig: approx. 45–66kg — a proper stock-up for families or batch cooks

Final weight varies depending on the individual animal and your cut preferences.

Choosing your cuts

Once your order is placed, we’ll be in touch personally to talk through exactly how you’d like everything prepared. You can choose the balance of:

• Roasting joints (leg, shoulder, loin)
• Chops and steaks
• Belly (joints, slices or streaky bacon)
• Mince and diced pork
• Sausages, in your choice of flavour

For BBQ & smoking

Fire up the smoker? Just say the word. If you cook low and slow, we'll cut your Dexter share to suit — proper packer brisket, beef short ribs, chuck for pulled beef, and big bone-in joints that take smoke beautifully. Whole-muscle cuts, trimmed how you like them, from grass-fed cattle raised right here. Simply tell us when we discuss your cut list, and our butcher will do the rest.

Not sure where to start? Leave it to us and we’ll cut a lovely balanced selection for your household.

Sausages: we can turn some of your pork into our proper butcher-made sausages for an additional £10 per kg, on top of the £9.50/kg pork price (this covers the extra preparation). Choose from Lincolnshire, Traditional Pork, Pork & Tomato, Pork & Apple, Pork & Leek, Cumberland or Spicy — just let us know how much and which flavours when we discuss your cuts.

Pricing

The Pork Reserve is priced at £9.50 per kg, butchery included, based on the final packaged take-home weight.

Estimated guide prices:

• Quarter Pig: approx. £110 – £160
• Half Pig: approx. £215 – £315
• Whole Pig: approx. £430 – £630

Because every pig is different, we confirm your exact total once it’s butchered and weighed — you only ever pay for what you get.

Timing

As every Reserve is butchered to your spec, the timing depends on stock levels and our butchery schedule. Please allow up to two weeks from placing your order to delivery. We’ll always confirm your timing with you and keep you posted along the way.

Welfare & Transparency

Our pigs travel a short distance to a licensed local abattoir. Animals are fully stunned in a non-reversible way before slaughter, in accordance with UK welfare legislation. Our pork is not halal or kosher slaughtered. No long journeys, no stress, and full traceability from our field to your plate.

How it works

2. Design your cuts — we’ll talk through exactly how you’d like it, or cut a balanced selection for you.
3. We deliver, cut your way — freshly butchered, vacuum packed, labelled and freezer ready, delivered or ready to collect.
