Mutton Taster Box

Mutton is sadly almost a lost delicacy in Britain, though it used to once be a staple of our diets. In fact in the Victorian era mutton was a common sight and, in many instances, even more popular than beef. 

Mutton is the meat of an older sheep, usually aged between two and five years. Being a matured meat it boasts a real depth of flavour. We only produce hogget (lambs in their second year) and mutton as all our sheep are 100% grass fed and therefore grow slowly at their own pace.

It really is a fantastic meat and with a far richer flavour than lamb. Mutton is best cooked slowly and therefore is great in stews, casseroles, pies, curries and for slow roasted joints.

 Each mutton taster box consists of:
8 x sausages
1 x Pack of Diced Mutton
1 x Half Leg Roasting Joint
4 - 6 Mutton Chops
1 x Pack of Mutton Mince

We offer chilled, fresh meat delivery throughout the UK mainland or click and collect for customers local to Chagford, Dartmoor.

All our sheep are taken by ourselves to our local abattoir in Ashburton, Dartmoor (18miles away). All our hogget and mutton is butchered by Michael Howard Family Butchers in Moretonhampstead, Dartmoor (3 miles from our farm). In other words the first time our hogget or mutton leaves Dartmoor is if it's going to one of our consumers outside of the national park. We keep this process as localised as possible for animal welfare and environmental reasons. 

 *Please note delivery can take up to 5 weeks from the time of ordering as all meat is sent fresh not frozen and we select to order. This means your order can then be frozen once you've receive it.
