Whole Leg of Swaledale Lamb

Whole Leg of Lamb – Grass-Fed & Perfect for Roasting
A whole leg of lamb, cooked on the bone, delivers exceptional flavour and succulence. This classic Sunday roast cut pairs beautifully with all the traditional trimmings - mint sauce or jelly being essential. For a flavour-packed twist, pierce the flesh in several places with a small, sharp knife and insert half a garlic clove, a salted anchovy, and a sprig of fresh rosemary before roasting.

For something truly special, try Gigot d'agneau à la ficelle, a traditional French open-fire cooking method. The leg is suspended over the flames, slowly spinning and absorbing the smoky aromas - a kind of vertical rotisserie that’s well worth the effort, particularly for outdoor entertaining.

Leg of lamb also marinates beautifully, making it perfect for global flavours. Try an overnight yogurt and tandoori spice marinade, followed by a hot oven or BBQ, for a deliciously bold and aromatic alternative to the classic roast. If you’re after a slower cook, we also sell whole lamb shoulder, perfect for meltingly tender, pull-apart meat.
