I’ve been buying lamb from here for the past few years, in fact awaiting for a delivery now. Delivery is always on time packed so it keeps cold and fresh always gets here the day after its sent. This lamb tastes absolutely amazing, it’s always constant in flavour, which is so different to anything you can buy in supermarkets or butchers. I can’t explain the flavour but it just tastes soooo gooood.
