Carmarthen Ham PGI

Carmarthen Ham PGI Or so my dad, Chris, said to Rick Stein’s visit to film his Food Heroes series back in 2002.

The recipe of Carmarthen Ham has been handed down from generation to generation, the family legend being that when the Romans came to Wales and settled in Carmarthen, they stole the recipe and returned to Italy, renaming it Parma Ham! While Chris improvised this at the time, it has since been hotly debated and even attracted Italian historians who conducted research and written papers on the subje

ct. Their findings have been inconclusive, leaving open the possibility this story may have some truth in it!

🚀 First trade show of 2026 for Carmarthen Ham

Today we’re at the Castell Howell Foods trade show at Parc y Scarlets in Llanelli 🏉

Always a good one — packed with chefs, buyers, and plenty of familiar faces from across Wales.

Even better… it’s a big day for Jason 👏
Our (relatively) new team member is making his trade show debut with us today!

No pressure, Jason — just a few hundred food industry folk to impress 😅

If you’re at Parc y Scarlets, come and find us, have a taste, and say hello.
Carmarthen Ham is very much on tour.

Un o uchafbwyntiau Diwrnod 1 yn y Ffair Aeaf ddoe!

Wastad yn bleser cael Gareth Wyn Jones draw i’n stondin — a hyd yn oed yn well gweld Rhian yn ymuno ag e tro yma.

Ife super-seren ffermio yw Gareth? Ife comediwr? Pwy a ŵyr — ond mae un peth yn siŵr… mae’r ddau ohonyn nhw wastad yn dod â chwerthin a hwyl gyda nhw.

👇 Dyma’r cyfweliad llawn os ydych chi eisiau cael golwg!

Ac os ydych chi yn y ffair fory, dewch draw i’n gweld ni — byddai’n braf iawn eich gweld!

One of the highlights of Day 1 at the The Royal Welsh Agricultural Society Winter Fair today!

It’s always a pleasure having Gareth Wyn Jones stop by our stand — and even better to have Rhian join him this time.

Is Gareth a superstar farmer? Is he a comedian? Who knows — but one thing’s certain… the pair of them always bring a smile and a bit of fun with them.

👇 Here’s the full interview if you’d like to have a look!

And if you’re at the show tomorrow, please come over and see us — we’d love to catch up!

✨ We’re incredibly proud to share that Carmarthen Ham is now featured on the autumn menu at Rules, London 🇬🇧🍴

For those who don’t know, Rules is London’s oldest restaurant, established back in 1798. Steeped in history, it has been serving classic British food for over 225 years. Famous for its seasonal game, traditional puddings, and timeless style, Rules has welcomed royalty, writers, and actors through its doors — it’s a true icon of British dining.

To see our Carmarthen Ham sitting alongside such beautifully crafted dishes is a huge honour, and we’re delighted to bring a little taste of Wales to one of the capital’s most historic tables 🏴.

If you’re in London this autumn, it’s well worth booking a table at Rules — and keep an eye out for us on the menu!

🍂✨ Exciting news! Our new Autumn menu launches today at Rules Restaurant.

Think rich seasonal flavours, warming dishes, and plenty of comfort to carry you through the cooler months.
