Lamb Joints - More Detail

High Quality Welsh Lamb Delivered to Your Door.

¸ Here is an indication of some likely prices at present - all joints and cuts will be individually bagged.
If you buy half a lamb, weighing about 7.5kg. at £4/kg. it will cost you £30
½lamb = 2 x ½ legs (or 1 leg, if you prefer), loinchops, chops, shoulder, breast.
The most expensive joint bought individually would be £6-£8/kg.
There is a price advantage of roughly 30% in buying all the joints for ½lamb in one order
