Lamb recipes
Versatile, inexpensive and delicious, nobody does lamb quite like the British.
Lamb can vary in taste, according to the age of the animal and the type of pasture it was grazed on.
Whether it be new season spring lamb with its sweet and tender texture, older season autumn lamb with its deep, rich colour and texture, or even the more game-y hogget or mutton, we have a recipe guaranteed to delight.
