Wild Game in Hastings has taken out New Zealand’s top bacon award with their middle eye/loin entry and New Zealand’s best ham award for their boneless ham. Owners Jordan and Varnnah Hamilton-Bicknell run a boutique butchery in Camberley, Hastings where they create quality products which are sold both in-store and online. Jordan, started his butchery trade at the age of 15 and says he is blown away to be the supreme winner of both awards as it was the first time he’d entered.
