About Wicks Manor Farm:

We apologise for any inconvenience caused to our customers by these late product substitutions. However, bearing in mind the situation in Ireland regarding Irish Pork products and the fact that it will take at least one week to introduce new pork in Ireland, Basketsgalore felt there was no alternative other than to act now and switch to British Pork products.

We chose Manor Farm on the basis of their quality, Gold Taste Awards and Membership of Tastes of Anglia. You can read about them at.
www.wicksmanor.co.uk/aboutus.htm
They are a real working farm, which is also a B&B.
They produce quality pork made from pigs reared in large open straw pens at Wicks Manor Farm. Products include pork joints and cuts, smoked bacon and ham, pork and apple burgers and sausages in many varieties. The pork is fully traceable and all animals live under the strict welfare regulations of Farm Assured British Meat. All pigs are fed with wheat and barley grown and milled on the family farm.
