Producer

We get some of our lamb from Robert Ventress at Intake Farm in Yorkshire, along with a clutch of other lamb farms in picturesque North Yorkshire Moors National Park. His farm’s been in the family since Great Grandfather Henry arrived here in the 1870s. Many years later, Robert nowadays makes sure his lambs at Intake farm are reared as naturally as possible, spending much of their lives outside in the sun, eating hay and grass. If you fancy seeing some well loved lambs and a spectacular stretch of coastline, you should take a visit. His wife runs the farm’s B&B and it’s only four miles from stunning Robin Hood’s Bay. Intake of Breath Farm, then?

Storage & prep

A roasting joint of lamb needs between 12 and 20 minutes per pound, or 25-45 minutes per kilo. The joint should be started at around 230C/450F/Gas mark 8, then lowered to 200C/400F/Gas mark 6 after 15 minutes. Lamb joints are perfectly safe to eat whilst still pink in the middle, but entirely raw lamb is to be avoided. Various techniques are popular for flavouring roasting joints. Try garlic pushed into knife holes in the skin, or sprigs of rosemary. Lamb neck fillet and diced leg can be used in stews or currys, including Lancashire hotpot and Irish stews. Lamb should be kept in the fridge, although it can be frozen on the day of purchase.
