At the heart of everything Ginger Pig does is good animal husbandry and welfare - and livestock that is looked after well in the field simply tastes better on the plate.

'I care too much about what I eat not to buy meat from The Ginger Pig. There are many great butchers in Britain but no single company which covers the whole process from the happy animal in the field, to the terrific cut of meat in my kitchen in the way they do. When I shop at The Ginger Pig I know I'm going to eat well.' - Jay Rayner The Observer
