About Us

Denhay began in 1952, when the Hood and Streatfeild families came together in the West Country, united by a passion for farming and quality produce. Today, we still make our bacon the traditional way - with the same care and attention that’s been at the heart of Denhay from the beginning.

Our hand dry cured bacon is now available in Waitrose, Sainsbury’s, Ocado and Amazon Fresh.

All our Dry Cured and Wiltshire Cure bacon is created in Devon using the finest British outdoor bred pork. For our dry cured bacon, our expert bacon curers hand rub each loin and belly to carefully apply the cure and then allow them to slowly mature drawing out our bacon’s exquisite taste. Our smoked lines are then gently smoked over beech wood before the finished sliced bacon is packed in special recyclable packaging to keep it fresh to the moment you open it.

We’ve been crafting bacon for almost 30 years, developing the Denhay method, and refining our special cure. Conceived at Denhay Farms, founded by the Streatfeilds and the Hoods in the Dorset hills 70 years ago, our hand dry cured bacon is now available in Waitrose, Sainsbury’s, Ocado and Amazon Fresh.

We value animal welfare extremely highly. All our Dry Cured and Wiltshire Cure bacon is made from outdoor bred pigs raised by farmers inspected to RSPCA welfare standards by the RSPCA’s independently certified farm assurance scheme. We have also won the Good Pig Award for our high standards.
