Parsons nose

 

 

Parsons Nose - We make exceptional sausages and pies because our meat is reared in a free range system with our pigs, Gloucester Old Spots, Large Blacks and Wild Black Boars being kept outside in open fields with pig arcs. Our animals grow slowly making for a very tastier meat, resulting in our famous award-winning sausages and pies. Because of the way the animals are farmed they also experience far less stress than your average pig, this makes for much happier pigs and as a result the meat is more tender and has a distinctive taste and flavour.
