No, its not a newborn lamb in a box!
A 'lamb-box' is an opportunity to stock up the freezer will a bulk-buy of top quality lamb joints, chops and steaks at a time when they're good value and have lived long enough to acquire a great depth of taste. They're all our own, home-bred animals and will be processed in our own butchery - as we do this ourselves, we can do them exactly how we (and you) might like them. Do you prefer a rack of lamb to lamb chops? No problem, just let us know.
What's in a lamb box?
As you can see, that can vary, but as a guide, what we call 1/2 a lamb might include:
Leg of lamb;
Lamb leg fillet;
Loin chops, a rack of lamb or a bit of both;
Boned and rolled shoulder joints or a bone in shoulder for slow roasting;
Shoulder or neck steaks;
diced lamb for stewing or kebabs;
lamb mince.
Again, the advantage of our 'bespoke' boxes is that we can adjust how we cut the carcass to give extra mince, steaks, etc, according to your preferences.
Prices will of course vary according to weight, but we hope that they will be around £65 for a half-box. Whatever the final price, they will always be cheaper than buying the individual pieces in the Farm Shop.
We would hope to also provide quarter boxes - ask for details - and of course you would be able to take a whole lamb and with an even greater discount. If you're interested, do get in touch through the shop or our contact form:
