Whole Pork Butt, bone-in for low and slow cooking.

Our whole pork butt is a bone-in British pork joint cut from the upper shoulder, prized for pulled pork, BBQ smoking and low-and-slow cooking.

Despite the name, pork butt does not come from the rear of the pig. It comes from the shoulder, close to the neck, and is also commonly known as Boston butt.

This cut is well marbled, full of flavour and ideal for long cooks where the fat and connective tissue slowly break down. Cook it properly and the pork becomes tender, juicy and easy to shred.

If you want proper pulled pork at home, this is the cut to use.

Hand-prepared, so weight may vary slightly.

Cooking Instructions

How to Cook Whole Pork Butt

Pork butt is best cooked low and slow. Season well with salt, pepper or your favourite pork rub, then place in a deep roasting dish.

Cover loosely with foil or a lid and cook at 150°C, 130°C fan, Gas Mark 2 for around 6 hours, or until the meat is tender enough to pull apart.

Once cooked, rest the pork before shredding with two forks or meat claws. Mix some of the cooking juices back through the pork before serving.
