Frequently Asked Questions

What does 'pasture fed' mean for your lamb and hogget?
Our lamb and hogget are raised slowly on family farms where animals graze freely on lush pastures, allowing natural diets that nurture the land and support biodiversity, resulting in meat full of honest flavour and care.
How do you ensure the welfare of the animals?
We work with small-scale farmers who raise native British breeds with respect and care, allowing natural behaviours on open pastures.
What is hogget?
Hogget is sheep meat from an animal between one and two years old, older than lamb, younger than mutton. The extra months on pasture build a deeper, more developed flavour that many cooks and chefs prefer to spring lamb.
What is the difference between lamb, hogget and mutton?
Age, and with it flavour. Lamb is under a year old and mild; hogget is one to two years, with more depth and a little more chew; mutton is older still, rich and pronounced, made for slow cooking.
Why would I choose hogget over lamb?
Flavour, mostly. Hogget has spent a second season grazing, and that time on grass shows in the meat. It also suits a slower style of farming, since the animal is allowed to grow at its own pace rather than being pushed to an early market weight.
What lamb cuts do you sell?
Legs on the bone and boneless, shoulders both ways, racks, loin, shanks, neck fillets, steaks, mince, diced lamb and lamb liver. Between them they cover everything from a Sunday roast to a midweek curry.
Which cut is best for slow roasting?
Shoulder, without question. Its marbling and working muscle melt over four or five gentle hours into meat you can pull apart with a spoon. Shanks give the same result in individual portions.
Which lamb cuts cook quickly?
Steaks, loin and a rack of lamb all suit fast, hot cooking and pink serving. Neck fillet sits in between: it grills well over fierce heat but also braises into something special.
Is British lamb seasonal?
Naturally, yes. Grass-fed lambs are born in spring and reach maturity from late summer into winter, and hogget extends that calendar into a second year. Farming to that rhythm, rather than against it, is part of why the meat tastes as it does.
What is lamb neck fillet good for?
It may be the most underrated cut on a sheep. Marbled and full of flavour, it braises into rich stews and tagines, but it is equally happy sliced and cooked hard and fast on a grill or barbecue.
How does sheep grazing help the countryside?
Well-managed flocks keep pasture in the cycle of grazing and regrowth that builds soil and supports wildflowers, insects and birds. Our lamb and hogget come from family farms working to regenerative principles, where the sheep are part of the landscape's health rather than a strain on it.
How should I store lamb when it arrives?
Straight into the fridge or freezer. Frozen cuts keep for months without losing condition; defrost them slowly in the fridge and cook within 24 hours of thawing.
