Brilliant Bacon, Brilliant Butcher!

I already told you that I really like beef from the Calcott Hall Farm in Essex. The beef has an outstanding quality as it is locally sourced and hung for 21 days. I was very impressed by the quality and the flavour of the beef, so I decided to try bacon, which is also produced at Calcott Hall Farm. I expected a really tasty and good bacon, but my expectations were absolutely exceeded. The bacon melted in my mouth and I am struggling with finding words to describe this tremendous piece of meat.

Brilliant Calcott Hall Bacon

A Touch of Home

As I am a German guy, I admire meat more than anything else regarding food. It took me quite a long time to find what I had been looking for since I came to England - great sausages! I love sausages and I bought some at several supermarkets, but I couldn't find any sausage which was comparable to "my sausages" in Germany. But then I came up with delicious sausages produced by Wicks Manor Farm. I already told you that I tried its fantastic ham, but as I'm speechless regarding the sausages I have to write about a product of this farm again.

Pork and Mustard Sausages

The best ham I've ever eaten...

If you are a meat fanatic as I am, I can really advise you to try Wicks Manor Farm's ham. This succulent ham has a great flavour and is available in different types, you can either have smoked or unsmoked ham or even honey roasted ham.

Tasty Ham

Since I tried this ham first, I've never tried any other ham, because in my eyes it is the best ham in the world! Wicks Manor Farm ham is butchered, cured and cooked on the farm in their ham room, which was especially built for this produce. The reason I love Wicks Manor Farm is that the pigs are born and bred on the farm and that they have plenty of space to live and enjoy their lives. Wicks Manor's pigs are happy, and that's why the ham is so delicious. The pigs are sent to a local abattoir before being returned to our licensed cutting plant on the farm. A short trip to the abattoir means the meat quality is fantastic. If you want to try ham, try Wicks Manor's ham and you won't be disappointed!

Tasty Beef from lovely Essex!

I recently tried beef from the Calcott Hall Farm in Essex - and it melted in my mouth like butter! To describe this beef in two words: absolutely brilliant. The beef is locally sourced and hung for 21 days before it is sold and because of this it has a distinctive and outstanding flavour.

Tasty Beef

Calcott Hall Farm in Essex is a family run business and besides having its own butchery they also grow a wide range of fruit and vegetables.They offer an outstanding quality and it is not really a surprise that they won the "Best Farm Shop" - Award in 2008/2009. I can entirely recommend Calcott Hall Farm. Their beef tastes absolutely fantastic and you can see the devotion they work with to satisfy your needs. Give it a try!
