Smoked Short Back Bacon — Thick Cut (450g)

Price: £7.65
Price: £7.65

Everything you love about our short back bacon, with an extra layer of depth. Dry-cured by hand using traditional methods, then gently smoked over wood for a richer, more complex flavour and that beautiful deep colour that tells you exactly what you're in for.

Cut thick for a proper, substantial rasher, it's made from locally reared Staffordshire pork with no water added — just pure, smoky, concentrated flavour from the first sizzle to the last bite.

How to Cook

  • Frying pan: Cook in a dry pan over a medium heat for 3–4 minutes each side until golden and caramelised at the edges. The fat renders beautifully — no oil needed.
  • Grill: Grill on a medium-high heat for 3–4 minutes each side for crisp edges and a slightly leaner result.
  • BBQ: Thick cut smoked bacon on the BBQ is something special — cook over direct heat for 2–3 minutes each side for deeply smoky, charred rashers.

Serving Ideas

  • The ultimate bacon sandwich — thick white bread, proper butter, and brown sauce; the smoke takes it to another level
  • Full English — alongside our sausages, black pudding, and local eggs for a breakfast that earns its reputation
  • Smoked bacon & egg muffin — toasted muffin, fried egg, and a thick smoked rasher for a proper morning
  • Pasta or risotto — diced and fried as a base for a rich, smoky sauce
