Free Range Pork Hock | 7 Day Dry-Aged In-House, Rich & Perfect for Slow Cooking

Our Free Range Pork Hock is a nod to traditional butchery — a deeply flavoursome, old-school cut that's perfect for slow cooking. Taken from the hind leg of the pig, this joint is naturally rich in collagen, making it ideal for long, slow braises. When cooked low and slow, the meat becomes meltingly tender, with a depth of flavour that's hard to match.

Why You'll Love It

🔥 Perfect for Low & Slow Cooking – Ideal for braises, casseroles and hearty winter dishes.
🥩 Dry-Aged for 7 Days – Enhances the richness and natural tenderness of the meat.
🌿 Free Range & Pasture-Raised – Sourced from small UK farms that prioritise ethical farming and sustainability.

A Cut Above the Rest

Pork hock is a cut that rewards patience. When simmered or slow-roasted, the connective tissue breaks down beautifully, delivering rich, tender meat and a beautifully gelatinous finish. Whether served as a traditional roast or shredded for stews, it's a classic that deserves its place back at the table. Also explore our Boston Butt for another slow-cook bone-in joint, or our Pork Belly for a richer roasting alternative.

Please note: product is supplied frozen. Once defrosted, use within 24 hours.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is pork hock?

Pork hock is the joint connecting the pig's leg to the trotter — a tough, collagen-rich cut that becomes extraordinarily tender and gelatinous when slow-cooked. It's a traditional British and European cut that's seen a revival in recent years thanks to its outstanding flavour and texture when properly prepared.

How do I cook a pork hock?

For braised hock: season and sear all over in a hot pan, then braise in stock, vegetables and herbs at 140°C for 3.5-4 hours until completely tender. The collagen dissolves into the braising liquor, creating an intensely rich sauce. For roasted hock: cook at 160°C for 3 hours covered, then blast at 220°C for 20-30 minutes for a crisp exterior.

Is pork hock supplied frozen?

Yes — our pork hock is supplied frozen. Defrost fully in the fridge overnight before cooking. Once defrosted, use within 24 hours.

Where does the pork come from?

From small, independent UK farms committed to free range rearing, regenerative land management and high animal welfare. Every pig is raised outdoors with space to roam and a natural diet.
