Free Ham from Haverick Meats

March 4, 2014 by Celia @ Fig Jam and Lime Cordial

A headsup to my fellow Sydneysiders – Haverick Meats have half-legs of ham to give away this Saturday, free with any purchase of $150 or more (while stocks last). That’s a fantastic bargain, and was more than enough incentive for me to drive over to Banksmeadow in the rain last Saturday. (Please excuse the dodgy low-light photo, it was pouring!)

The piece I was given with my purchase was huge, and surprisingly lean. We glazed it with quince jelly and baked it in the oven for forty minutes, then served it with homemade mayo and mountains of mashed potatoes.

I’ve just emailed Havericks to ask them if the offer would be on this Saturday as well, and they’ve confirmed that it will, so I’m passing the information on to you. I have no affiliation with the company whatsoever (other than being a very happy customer) – this deal is just too good not to share!

PS. If you’re going on Saturday, take some extra cash, as they’re now also stocking Pepe Saya butter and Little Generals olive oil. Here’s the post I wrote on Havericks a couple of years ago, and the one by lovely Lorraine which inspired me to visit in the first place!

    Children’s sporting commitments and my business activities have kept me from getting to Havericks and its getting very frustrating!
    I first went there over 20 years ago and was also a very happy customer. I could go and fill my rather large chest freezer getting great value for my dollar and as a mum with young children money was always an issue.
    The best thing was the meat ALWAYS tasted delicious.
    I will get there!!

      Sue, I think their meat is fantastic too. Hope you get there this weekend! :)

    Never anything good like this way up here. What a lovely gift for spending money.

      Apparently they had a big order that fell through, so they’ve decided to share the hams with their customers!

    Glad you enjoyed your ham. P.S You take such good photos Celia. Maybe you should have been a professional photographer because every one l see is just so good:)

      Jody, aren’t you kind! Thank you. Full credit to the Lumix camera I have though (DMC-FZ100) – it’s not a particularly high end one, but it does seem to do everything I ask of it! :)


      • on March 4, 2014 at 7:44 pm Jody

        I’m sure some of the credit must go to the photographer as well:)

    Wow, what a great deal. Better than the $5 off coupon my market gave us.

      You can see why I had to share! :)

    Im going. This weekend. Been putting it off forever.


    • on March 5, 2014 at 3:19 pm Celia @ Fig Jam and Lime Cordial

      Go! Go! :) Free ham this week – I find it hard to spend less than $150 when I go.. :)

    You’re so sweet spreading the word about the ham. Love your work xxx


    • on March 5, 2014 at 3:20 pm Celia @ Fig Jam and Lime Cordial

      Thanks darling. I’d never have found them but for you!

    Thank you for sharing this info, Celia! I hope I can make it to Havericks this Saturday. By the way, I love your blog! I’ve been following for a while, but haven’t left a comment. You are truly an inspiration! Your boys are very lucky to have such a wonderful mum! :-)


    • on March 5, 2014 at 3:21 pm Celia @ Fig Jam and Lime Cordial

      Jaqi, thank you! My boys are pretty special – they make it all worthwhile! :)


      • on March 5, 2014 at 3:38 pm jaqi

        I know exactly what you mean, Celia. I have two boys too :-)
        By the way, I found your blog through Lorraine@NotQuiteNigella.
        You are a truly awesome cook and I love the whole concept of “living well in the urban village”. That’s what we try to do :-)

    Thanks so much for letting me know about this, Celia. I’ll try my very best to get there this Saturday xx


    • on March 5, 2014 at 3:22 pm Celia @ Fig Jam and Lime Cordial

      Charlie, you’ll have to call dibs on the car! :)

    Now that’s a sale! How I’d love to come upon one like that here, Celia. This, for me, is “ham season” and I’d jump at the chance for a freebie.


    • on March 6, 2014 at 6:41 am Celia @ Fig Jam and Lime Cordial

      John, the best bit is that the meat is all premium and very reasonably priced to start with, so getting a free ham is a HUGE bonus! :)
