Ask for a bone in neck end cut of shoulder and you'll get your Boston Butt :)

What you have to ask for is Neck end pork shoulder with the rib and back bone taken off leaving the blade bone inside.
Thats a English Boston butt.

I may be biased on my view as we've had Martin driving around the valleys locally for years selling pork. He's Abbotts Ann based so ANDOVER, his pork is beautiful, and the prices are cracking. I had a 4.5 kg bone in shoulder from him a few months back and it totalled at £30 there or there abouts. He'll need talking to in advance to sort out exactly what you want and how you want it cut etc as he had to take mine from a baconer he was going to butcher. Well worth a try.

Here's his site:

I'm new to this forum and just wanted to see what was going on around Andover and Hampshire.

I've been using the Weyhill Farm Shop in Andover, the young butcher there seems to know his cuts and have had several really good Boston Butts from him; excellent after a 14hr cook and used the skin/ fat to make amazing crackling.
