Description
A tasty and tender leg of mutton makes a perfect Sunday roast with a mature depth of flavour and firm but not tough texture.
The extra age of our leg of mutton gives it a dark colour and extra fat producing a sought after characteristic flavour. As mature animals mutton sheep are at their best, producing meat with a good fat ratio and a firm texture.
We aim, as with all our products, to ensure that our mutton is of a consistent quality to satisfy the standards of both our chef clients and home cooks.That means that we expect a good covering of fat on the meat and that it is dry aged for 14 days in our purpose built maturation room before leaving our butchery.
Our sheep reach maturity on the hills of North Yorkshire where they forage and graze on well draining limestone uplands. In winter their feed is supplemented with root crops to provide the necessary nutrients to maintain a healthy flock.

Barbecued in an 18″ “egg” for a couple of hours to brown, then wrapped and 6hrs @ 120degC in an oven. Very tender, tasty and virtually no waste apart from two bones.

Still in the freezer awaiting a non-socially-distanced occasion. Maybe ‘curry goat’ for 8 to 10 or more. 4 stars in anticipation

doubt I will ever go back to lamb. the depth of flavour with mutton is far superior – not yet given it a try? … you sure should! Mutton needs to be back on more Sunday dinner tables

The bag containing the leg was clearly marked as lamb and when I telephoned to query this I was assured that it was mutton although based on the conversation I’m not sure the person I spoke to understood the definition of mutton and when I cooked it as normal by slowly boiling it in water it became obvious that it was lamb i.e. it fell apart and became very dry in texture.Two stars because my wife thought it tasted OK.

Delivery on time. Mutton larger than ordered. Plenty for multiple meals. Great value for money and very, very tasty.
Will order again.

So pleased to have found a supplier of this wonderful tasting joint of meat – cook it a little longer than lamb but the results are superior.

Nice cuts of quality Mutton, which always cooks and tastes great. Leaving a little more fat on would not hurt.

Our second order of mutton. The delivery was on the day we asked for and the joints were well packed. We enjoyed the meat as much as the first, full of taste. We think it’s real value for money for a quality product. Thank you.
