Its dependant on the weight but it averages out to about £140 per pig

Well worth it!!

Eeeek ! Think I'll stick with Chapmans - cost me £168 for 3 (only 1 was cured right enough, but still !)
I would dearly love to taste some though - see if that extra cost is worth it  :yum:

If you think that's expensive, I took an old sow to Arran, just over £500 for burgers and sausages!

Do you think the cost is justified Lee ? I'm just wondering if there really is a big enough difference in the finished product to justify the extra costs ? Was it the size of the sow that meant you took her to Arran ? or was it just to give her a wee boat trip (or any other more sensible reason, sorry  ::) :D;D ;D ;D
I'm not trying to be contentious, I just want to find out your thoughts  ;) :wave:

I don't mind the cost at Ramsays, we've used them for a number of years but they will only take pigs up to 100kg. They skin them too so no excess fat! The meat is also presented really well and there is a choice of smoked/unsmoked, flavor of sausage and burger and just a generally great service.
The Arran pig was taken there because of her size but also because they need to be tested for something(whose name has escaped me) after a year old. That price was not including the ferry, but I atleast the foodmiles would be low on that occasion!!!
