Suitable for freezingBritish meat
Buy half a lamb from True Bites and fill your freezer with a generous selection of freshly prepared British lamb cuts. Our Half a Lamb Box is expertly butchered using traditional whole-animal methods and delivered fresh, ready to cook or freeze at home.
Buying half a lamb is one of the most economical ways to enjoy British lamb across a wide variety of cuts. Rather than choosing individual joints, chops and slow-cooking cuts separately, this box gives you a traditional selection from across the animal in one convenient order.
Our half lamb is prepared in the traditional way, with most cuts left on the bone to maximise flavour and value. You’ll receive approximately 10kg of lamb, including:
2 × Half Lamb Legs,
2 × Half Lamb Shoulders,
1 × Lamb Breast,
14–16 Lamb Chops,
1 × Neck of Lamb, and
1 × Lamb Kidney.
It’s ideal for stocking the freezer and gives you everything from roasting joints and chops to rich, slow-cooking cuts for meals throughout the weeks ahead.
Please note: weights and chop counts are approximate as every lamb varies naturally in size.
If you require specific cuts to be boned or prepared differently, please contact us before ordering and our butchers will advise what is possible.
Cooking Instructions
How to Cook Half a Lamb Box – British Lamb
This box contains a variety of lamb cuts, each suited to different cooking methods including roasting, grilling, pan frying and slow cooking.
For the best results, follow the specific cooking guidance for the individual cut you are preparing. Cooking times will vary depending on the cut, size and cooking method.
For larger roasting joints, allow the meat to rest after cooking before carving. Slow-cooking cuts such as lamb neck and breast benefit from longer, gentler cooking until tender.
