The Country Victualler are very proud to be the sole producer of the supreme and multi-award-winning Alderton ham. “A Rick Stein Food Hero and he knows what he’s talking about”.The Country Victualler is proud to have supplied Alderton Hams to Partridges of Sloane Street since their opening in 1973, also Fortnum and Mason. Created in the small village of Alderton by Colonel Dickinson, late of the Royal Ulster Rifles, his recipe for this deliciously moist and succulently sweet ham with a smokey undertone has been passed down through the generations but never altered. It’s still made today as he originally created it. Steamed and then baked with a traditional Marmalade glaze, to our secret recipe, is what makes this ham a firm favourite with the well-heeled of London and ham lovers across the Country.

To reheat the ham without drying it out, the best way to do this is to place the ham on a rack in a roasting pan. Add water to the bottom of the pan and cover the whole thing tightly with foil.
Bake at 160°for 15-20 minutes per 500g of ham, until a meat thermometer registers 72°.
