For many of us, the heart of the festive season is the pleasure of gathering our friends and family to share good food. And, when it comes to a traditional Christmas feast, nothing beats the tender, succulent taste of quality smoked ham from the bone. Best of all, it’s available right here on our doorstep.
Local, long-established fishmonger, Davies and Sons have been curing gammons on their premises for the past seven years. Owner, Steve Davies says: “We’ve always cured our own salmon, haddock and cod and extending our range to hams was a natural step that’s proved very popular with our customers.” The locally-sourced hams are hung in his traditional kiln and allowed to absorb the fragrant smoke from smouldering oak and beech chips giving them a light aroma and delicious, mellow flavour. The gammons are ready for collection about ten days before Christmas but it’s best to make your order well before then.
Naturally, Davies and Sons also provide the full range of Christmas fish favourites, including home-cured Scottish salmon, many varieties of prawns and Sea Bass. The company was founded in East London in 1860 by Steve’s great-grandfather and has remained a family business ever since. Davies & Sons draws on this extensive experience to provide their customers with an exceptional level of service. Not only do they supply a wide selection of the finest quality, fresh fish from around the world, but they will also prepare it exactly as their customers want it, can offer recipe advice and will make local deliveries for larger orders.
