About the cut

Minced Mutton

Minced mutton is a great alternative to that of beef or lamb. Any mince is regarded as a staple of a butcher's trade, but nowadays the focus is often making the mutton go as far as possible. Our approach is different, and hasn't changed for generations. The animals used are in their prime, grass fed, and sourced from small farms that produce consistent mutton, while the cuts used promise ample marbling and fat content for proper flavour and colouring. Our mutton brings you rich herbal flavours from the wild herbs and plants the sheep forage on.

About the breed

Swaledale

Hill Sheep Grazed On Wild Heather

Tasting notes:
robust, indulgent, herbal
Region:
Yorkshire Dales

The Swaledale is the sheep of the Dales. They adorn the signs for the Yorkshire Dales National Park, and can be seen themselves wandering the wild stretches between the valleys in search of foraging. Ours mature slowly, at their own pace, on the heather that grows on the tops. This gives the meat a sweet as well as robust and almost herbal flavour, with the Swaledale providing some of Yorkshire's most renowned lamb and mutton.
