Kitto's of Devon

Forty years is a long time to spend getting one thing right. Since 1985, this Plymouth business has concentrated on cooked hams and little else, using time-honoured curing methods and carefully sourced ingredients. Their own motto puts it better than most mission statements manage: small enough to care, large enough to cope. It is the sort of quiet specialism the South West food trade quietly runs on, familiar to caterers long before shoppers.

The range splits broadly two ways: premium catering hams built for foodservice and hospitality volumes, and delicatessen-style cuts aimed at retail counters and gourmet shelves. Everything is cooked, boneless and ready to serve, which explains the appeal to kitchens working at speed. Delivery covers the South West, with customers further afield across the UK. Trade buyers should use the contact form on their site to talk through quantities and cuts.
