Frequently Asked Questions
Pork hock is the lower part of the pig’s leg, taken from just above the foot. It’s a traditional butcher’s cut, packed with flavour, collagen, and character. You may also hear it called pork knuckle or pork hough — same cut, different names. Fresh pork hock is best suited to slow cooking, braising, roasting, or stewing.
Yes. Pork hock and pork knuckle are different names for the same cut. In the UK it’s often called pork hock or pork hough, while in European cooking it’s commonly known as pork knuckle. All refer to the same richly flavoured, slow-cook cut from the lower leg.
Fresh pork hock is becoming harder to find because most supermarkets focus on quick-cook cuts. Pork hock takes time and proper preparation, which doesn’t suit mass retail. Traditional butchers still value it — and at The Black Farmer, we keep it available by working with British producers who respect proper nose-to-tail butchery.
Fresh pork hock is best cooked slowly. It can be simmered until tender, then finished in the oven for crisp skin, or braised gently in stock, herbs, and spices. Popular methods include slow roasting, braising, boiling followed by roasting, or using it as the base for soups and stews.
Pork hock is used in many traditional dishes around the world. Popular recipes include slow-braised pork hock, roast pork hock with crackling, German-style Schweinshaxe, Caribbean-inspired stews, and Chinese red-braised pork hock. It’s a cut that rewards patience and proper cooking.
You can buy fresh pork hock online from The Black Farmer, sourced from British pork and prepared by skilled butchers. We deliver across the UK, making it easier to get traditional cuts that are no longer widely available in supermarkets.
