We understand that buying fresh bacon and gammon online, can be a concern. That’s why at The Chop Shop Butchery, all our bacon and gammon is ethically sourced, and delivered fresh to ensure exceptional quality and taste. Every order is packed in fully insulated packaging to keep it fresh on its way to your door – delivered nationwide.
For perfectly crisp bacon, start in a cold pan and cook over medium heat. This allows the fat to render slowly, giving you that delicious crunch without burning. For gammon steaks, sear both sides in a hot frying pan to lock in moisture and flavour.
Maple-Glazed Bacon with Black Pepper
Lay streaky bacon on a lined baking sheet, brush with maple syrup, and crack fresh black pepper over the top. Bake at 180°C (350°F) for 15–20 minutes until crispy and caramelised. Ideal as a burger topping.
For a hearty meal, try a honey and mustard glazed gammon joint - slow-cooked for tenderness and full flavour.
Bacon is one of the oldest processed meats. The Chinese were the first to cook salted pork bellies over 3000 years ago.

Absolutely. Butchered bacon from The Chop Shop Butchery is thicker, fresher, and more flavourful than most mass-produced supermarket options. The same goes for gammon - ours is expertly trimmed and full of flavour, not preservatives.
Fresh bacon from your butcher can last up to 7–10 days in the fridge when stored properly, and longer if vacuum-sealed. Gammon joints can be refrigerated for 5–7 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
For safety and optimal texture, bacon should be cooked to at least 63°C (145°F). For gammon, aim for an internal temperature of 70°C (160°F) to ensure it’s fully cooked.
Store cooked bacon in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days, or freeze for up to a month. To reheat, use an oven or pan for best results - this helps maintain the crispness. Cooked gammon slices can also be refrigerated and served cold in sandwiches or reheated for a hot meal.
