Why you will love our Half Leg of Mutton...

Dry-aged mutton with bold, rich flavour
Pasture-raised
Perfect for smaller gatherings

A half leg of our locally reared, heritage breed mutton cooked on the bone is an excellent choice for a smaller gathering. It'll comfortably serve 4-6 people. Carefully prepared with the shank left on, this joint offers the best of both worlds – the rich, sticky goodness of the shank and a lean, tender section that’s simple to carve.

Mutton comes from lambs that are at least 2 years old at slaughter, but can sometimes be up to 7 years, which is why our Suffolk mutton has such a deep, robust flavour. We hang our mutton for up to three weeks to enhance this intensity and to improve the texture, giving it a quality similar to well-aged beef. This process also means the joint can be cooked more quickly, even to a perfectly pink finish if desired.

Want to know more?

Our mutton is a true celebration of tradition and quality, sourced exclusively from local, small-scale producers who share our passion for ethical and environmentally conscious farming. Each animal is pasture-raised for several years, grazing on a natural diet of wild herbs and mixed grasses, which gives the meat its distinctive, rich flavour. We’re proud to work with exceptional farmers like Hugh Crossley at the Somerleyton Estate near Lowestoft, Alan Peck in Erpingham, and John and Alice Pawsey at Shimpling Park Farm. We take the time to hang the carcasses for around 30 days, sometimes longer, to get the best out of this wonderful meat.

> Roast and Oven bake

1. Allow the leg to reach room temperature
2. Preheat the oven to 180°C (fan oven, or equivalent)
3. Place some onion, a few crushed garlic cloves and some other root veg in an oven dish and rub over a little rapeseed oil
4. Place the leg on top of the veg and roast in the oven for the recommended cooking time
5. Remove from the oven and rest for 30 mins (or as long as it takes to make the gravy!)
