Rich, traditional British pork cut for slow cooking perfection.

The Black Farmer Fresh Pork Hock brings classic flavour and comfort to your kitchen. Taken from the lower leg of prime British pork, this cut delivers melt-in-the-mouth tenderness and deep, savoury richness when cooked low and slow. Ideal for braising, roasting, or adding to soups and stews, the hock rewards patience with silky texture and wholesome taste — a true farmhouse favourite for hearty, rustic meals.

Pork hock is one of those traditional cuts that many supermarkets no longer stock — not because it lacks flavour, but because it requires time, patience, and proper butchery. Also known as pork knuckle or pork hough, it’s a hardworking cut taken from the lower leg, rich in collagen and depth.

As modern retail has shifted towards quick-cook cuts, fresh pork hocks have quietly disappeared from shelves. At The Black Farmer, we keep this cut alive by sourcing British pork, preparing it fresh, and offering it exactly as it should be — whole, skin-on, and ready for slow cooking. It’s proper food, for people who know what good tastes like.

Pair It with...

Pork hock shines when it’s paired with bold, grounding flavours. Match it with sides and ingredients that stand up to its richness:

• Creamy mash or buttered potatoes
• Sauerkraut or slow-cooked cabbage
• Root vegetables like carrot, parsnip, or swede
• Proper gravy made from the cooking liquor
• Crusty bread to soak up every bit

For a full butcher’s-table experience, pair pork hock with other traditional cuts from The Black Farmer range — slow food, done right.

Here are cooking instructions for fresh pork hock:
1. Start by rinsing the pork hock under cold water to remove any excess debris.
2. Place the pork hock in a large pot and cover it with water. Add any desired seasonings such as bay leaves, peppercorns, or garlic cloves for added flavour.
3. Bring the water to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium-low and let it simmer. Skim off any foam or impurities that rise to the surface.
4. Cook the pork hock for approximately 2 to 3 hours, or until the meat is tender and easily pulls away from the bone. The cooking time may vary depending on the size of the pork hock.
5. Once cooked, remove the pork hock from the pot and let it rest for a few minutes.
6. At this point, you have various options. You can enjoy the pork hock as is, or you can finish it off by roasting or grilling it for a crispy exterior. Alternatively, you can also use the cooked pork hock in various recipes, such as soups, stews, or braised dishes.
7. Serve the pork hock with your favourite sides such as mashed potatoes, sauerkraut, or steamed vegetables.
Remember, cooking times may vary, so it's important to check the meat's doneness by testing its tenderness. Enjoy your pork hock!
