Half Leg of Lamb — A Classic Centrepiece for Sunday Roasts
A Sunday lunch staple, our Half Leg of Lamb is a timeless roasting joint that delivers big on flavour and presence. With the bone left in for added succulence and depth, it makes an impressive centrepiece for any table. This versatile joint is equally at home cooked to a juicy medium-rare or slow-roasted until falling from the bone.

We also offer a Whole Leg of Lamb, Whole Shoulder of Lamb, and the mutton equivalents — perfect for larger gatherings or deeper, more robust flavour.

Our heritage breed lamb, raised on the wild pastures of the Yorkshire Dales, offers a uniquely rich, slightly sweet flavour with herbal undertones. It’s ideal for marinating — try yogurt and tandoori spices followed by a hot oven or BBQ for a vibrant, flavour-packed take on a classic cut.

Inspiration by Chef Valentine Warner
"So many ways to go with a half leg of lamb — but let me give you my favourite. First, I must say that Swaledale lamb is truly some of the best you’ll ever eat: rich, characterful, and properly full of flavour. It’s the kind of meat that deserves bold flavours and confident cooking."

"For this method, I reach for black olives — the really good, wrinkly kind stored in oil — and blitz them into a fine paste with a tin of anchovies, a hefty amount of fresh garlic, the zest of two lemons, a pinch of dried rosemary, and lots of black pepper. This mix should be dark, fragrant and punchy."

"Season the lamb well with salt and pepper, then score the thicker side deeply every few inches. Press the olive paste firmly into the cuts — don’t be shy. In the base of a roasting tray, make a bed of thinly sliced red onions and pour in half a bottle of red wine. Sit the lamb on top, cover tightly with foil and roast gently until just shy of your desired doneness."

"Finally, uncover the joint, crank up the heat, and return it to the oven until the lamb is well-coloured, the skin crisped, and the wine has reduced to a rich, savoury sauce. Spoon this over thick slices of lamb at the table — it’s intensely satisfying and deeply comforting. A proper centrepiece for any Sunday roast or spring feast."
