A rich and flavourful joint which will take centre stage on any Sunday lunch table
A whole leg of our locally reared mutton, roasted on the bone with garlic and rosemary, makes for a magnificent centrepiece, perfect for larger gatherings or celebratory meals. It's relatively lean for mutton, and still full of flavour. It'll serve 6-10 people with ease.
Our heritage breed Mutton comes from lamb that are at least 2 years old (sometimes as much as 7 years), giving it an unrivalled depth of flavour that only comes with age, and those extra years grazing on the varied meadows of this corner of Suffolk. The meat is hung for over two to three weeks, a process that intensifies its robust taste and enhances its texture, making it comparable to well-aged beef. I recommend cooking it low and slow, and serving it medium to medium-rare.

Gerard's Suggestion
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 approx 2.5 hours, basting every now and then.
5. Remove from the oven and rest for 30 mins (or as long as it takes to make the gravy!)
