Campaign supporters
- "The way Waitrose operates its supply chain is close to ideal, providing consistency and sustainability for both itself and the producers. At present, the pig industry is in danger of disappearing and we need the support of shoppers to buy home-produced pork, bacon and ham. This campaign gives the pig industry the backing it needs and will help to highlight the problems being faced."
Stewart Houston, Chairman of the British Pig Executive and the National Pig Association.

- "Pig producers are on a knife-edge and we're proud to support Waitrose and others to draw attention to their desperate plight. British bacon is much loved as a breakfast favourite but we’re in danger of losing it for good. If we don’t get sustainable prices for UK pork, half the pig sector could disappear and we will be dependent on imports. Some 70 per cent of pork imported into the UK is produced under systems that are illegal here. We urgently need to inspire consumers to buy British therefore encourage better supply chain agreements.”
Jane King, Editor, Farmers Weekly
- "I am very happy to be supporting Save Our Bacon. British pork and bacon is among some of the world's finest and it will be a real tragedy if more farmers are forced out of business."
Angela Hartnett
- "I find it very sad to think that the British banger could become a luxury food item. The only way we can change this is to support the producers on our doorstep and be prepared to pay fairly for good food."
Rick Stein
- "As a farmer I’m proud to support the Save Our Bacon campaign. British pork is amongst some of the tastiest in the world so we’ll all miss out if it is no longer available."
Jimmy Doherty
- "I’m all for Save Our Bacon; it horrifies me that good, responsible farmers are being forced out of pig farming. This means more pigs will be imported and reared in battery-like conditions. We must pay more to give pigs a good life."
Rosie Boycott
- "It’s British pig farmers who produce the world’s best pork – and it’s a complete disgrace that their future is in jeopardy. That’s why I’m giving my backing to the Save Our Bacon campaign."
Gordon Ramsay
- "Britain has a long and glorious tradition of pig farming, and the British breeds, from Gloucester Old Spot to Berkshire, provide some of the sweetest meat in the world. And buying British not only cuts down food miles and helps British farming but allows you to know exactly where your meat comes from."
Tom Parker-Bowles
- "British pork is renowned for its high quality, and by paying around seven pence extra per packet of bacon, we can ensure that we continue to enjoy the best British pork and bacon, and can remain proud of this amazing product."
Tom Aikens
- "British pork is of exceedingly high quality and I am happy both to use it at home and to serve to my customers at Le Gavroche. It is crucial that British pig farmers are given the support they need to sustain a fantastic product that is a staple of homes and restaurants around the country."
