Gammon Roast 

  • 180 Minutes
  • Medium
  • Pork

A beautifully juicy, oven-roasted gammon joint finished with a sticky honey and mustard glaze and crackly crispy skin. Perfectly golden on the outside, tender inside, and ideal for a classic Sunday roast with all the trimmings.

Cooking Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (fan) and give it time to fully heat up. 
  2. Make the glaze: In a small bowl, mix together the runny honey and mustard. Set aside for now - this will be brushed on towards the end to give that sticky, golden finish. 
  3. Take the gammon out of the fridge and leave it out for around 30 minutes to come up to room temperature. This helps it cook more evenly. 
  4. Sear the joint. Heat a large pan over a high heat and sear the gammon on all sides until nicely browned. This adds flavour and helps the skin dry out later. 
  5. Insert your meat thermometer into the thickest part of the joint and set it for medium-well (70–74°C).  
  6. Transfer the gammon to a roasting tin and place in the oven. Cook until the skin looks dry and starts to firm up - keep an eye on it so it doesn’t catch (the meat won’t be fully cooked at this point) 
  7. Take the joint out of the oven and carefully remove the skin (you can pop this back in the oven separately if you like it extra crispy). Return the gammon to the oven and continue cooking. 
  8. About 10 minutes before the end, remove the joint and brush generously all over with the honey and mustard glaze. Put it back into the oven and cook until the thermometer reaches temperature.  
  9. Once done, remove and give it one final brush with the glaze. 
  10. Rest before carving! Leave the gammon to rest for at least 15 minutes, longer if you have time. This keeps it juicy and makes carving much easier. 
  11. Carve and serve up with the crispy skin and all your usual Sunday roast dinner trimmings (including a big fat helping of cauliflower cheese if you like it)! 
  12. Enjoy! 

The Ingredients

 

What To Serve With Gammon Roast 

This honey and mustard gammon is perfect with classic roast sides like crispy roast potatoes, buttery carrots, and rich cauliflower cheese. Steamed greens, braised red cabbage, or a simple gravy also balance the sweetness of the glaze beautifully.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes — you can cook it ahead, let it cool, then refrigerate. Reheat gently in the oven, covered with foil, to keep it juicy.

Removing the skin helps the glaze soak in, but you can roast the skin separately if you love extra-crispy crackling.
