Christmas is only a month away... time to start preparing for those special meals with family and friends!
Christmas ham is a tradition for many families. Lovingly glazed and cooked to perfection, hams are often the highlight of Christmas dinners.
Saint Johns Butchery has been smoking hams the old-fashioned way for over ten years, taking great care to produce succulent artisan hams for our discerning customers. (And we consider the welfare of the animals when sourcing our meat ... all of our pork comes from New Zealand PigCare-accredited farms.)
We have whole and half sizes of ham-on-the-bone and Champagne ham, catering for Christmas celebrations of any size!
Unsure how to prepare and cook a Christmas ham? Our friendly team of butchers are always on hand to give advice, simply ask. We have glazing packs available for your convenience too.
So try the stuff we've been smoking and call 09 521 6319 or email dave@saintjohnsbutchery.co.nz to order your Christmas ham now!
