Perfect in a sandwich or as part of a tasty charcuterie, our Honey Roast Ham is a hit with Greendale customers! Made with East Devon pork from the Greendale Butchers, this mouth-watering Honey-Roast Ham is hand-rolled and slow-cooked for five hours. After cooking, the joint is scored all over, and local honey is poured over it – it’s then left to rest for a further hour while the honey infuses its delicious flavour throughout the meat.
6. HAKE STEAKS (Approved by the Marine Stewardship Council - MSC)
Another returning product from last year's top 10, it's great to see our popular Hake Steaks remain favoured as ever! Caught fresh by our own boats and landed in nearby Newlyn, this versatile fish has a milder flavour than Cod, and is excellent grilled or pan fried. Check out our White Fish recipes for inspiration!

10. GREEN'S OF GLASTONBURY TWANGER CHEDDAR
