Our Story

Our Beginnings
Founded in a converted cow shed in Shropshire in 1985, DukesHill began as a labour of love, crafting exquisite Wiltshire hams. Our dedication to quality soon earned us local fame and, by 1998, the honour of supplying the late Queen Elizabeth II. This prestigious recognition was solidified in 2003 and in 2024 with Royal Warrants from both her late majesty and King Charles III, affirming our artisan status.
