About Us:
DukesHill, established in 1985 and headquartered in Telford, is a luxury fine foods brand, with a Royal Warrant from the late Queen Elizabeth II. Founded with a vision of producing the finest hams, traditionally cured the “old-fashioned” way with the highest regard for animal welfare. Our product range has grown over the years, but our guiding principle of putting flavour and quality before speed or yield remains as strong as ever. Today DukesHill sells direct to consumers as well as leading high-end retailers, premium London food halls, restaurants, and hotels across the UK.
Since its inception, the company has grown from a simple producer and supplier of traditionally cured hams to one of the UK’s leading providers of artisan fine foods – Everything from fresh and cured meats to cheeses, smoked fish, handmade puddings, cakes, confectionery, and luxury hampers and gift boxes.
