Spring lamb – The very best of British

There’s something so special about the taste of spring lamb – with its delicate, pale and tender meat with a fine grain and white crumbly fat to keep it succulent. It is meltingly tender to eat, and represents the very best of British seasonal fare.

Broad Stripe Butchers, the UK’s favourite online butcher for people who know and care about meat, has just launched its Spring Lamb selection box. For just £75 including delivery anywhere on the UK mainland, you can have the perfect selection of this delicious meat delivered directly to your door.

The pack contains: a generous easy-carve leg (2.49 kg), two full six-bone racks (each approximately 325 gm); an 800g pack of diced lamb plus another of minced lamb and, last but by no means least, four packs of loin chop duos (each containing 2 x 113g chops, carefully trimmed to allow a generous portion of fillet and loin-eye).

Freshly delivered in Broad Stripe’s smart stay-cool delivery box, your meat will arrive chilled and stored on reusable chill packs. You can pop it straight into the freezer or store in the fridge (all meat has used-by dates) until needed.

Broad Stripe Butchers is so named because, traditionally, the wider the stripe on a butcher’s apron, the more senior the butcher. The sister company of top catering supplier Fairfax Meadow, which has been serving our top restaurants for over 25 years, Broad Stripe Butchers supplies meat of exactly the same quality as that prepared by top chefs such as Brian Turner at the Millennium Hotel London Mayfair, Michel and Alain Roux at the Waterside Inn, Mark Edwards at Nobu, and Paul Gayler…to name but a few.

All the meat is British and as well as adhering to the ‘Quality Standard’ marks from the English Beef and Lamb Executive (EBLEX) the company supplies meat under the ‘Red Tractor’ scheme managed by Assured Food Standards and ‘Free-Range’ criteria. It is supplied from carefully selected local farms, spanning the Cornish coast to the Scottish highlands – from farms which adhere to the highest standards of animal welfare and top quality feed.
