“A Rick Stein Food Hero and he knows what he’s talking about” We are very proud to be the sole producer of the supreme and multi award winning Alderton ham. 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 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. The Country Victualler is proud to have supplied Alderton Hams to Partridges of Sloane Street since their opening in 1973, also Fortnum and Mason.

This is a deliciously ripe, fruity dry white with lime, grapefruit and gooseberry flavours. Its grown in an area where the sunny warm climate and ideal soil conditions allow the quality of the grapes to shine through. Modern wine production methods and carefully managed viticulture result in a wine with a fresh, fruity and crisp character of a consistently high quality.

These are firm favourites for a roast dinner or for finger food! "We like to serve these moreish little savouries to accompany the game pie, but they also make wonderful pre-dinner nibbles, and in the case of the devils, are a great snack on buttered toast (at any time of day)." Sweet and sticky devils on horse back - made with pitted dates hand wrapped in our own recipe demerara dry cured streaky bacon.

The sweet crispness of apples and the aromatic fragrance and freshness of mint is a delicious combination and one that enhances the taste of any lamb or pork roast joint. A firm Sunday dinner favourite in the Darlington farmhouse.
