Chilled & Frozen
Whole bone-in lamb shoulders — the slow-cooking forequarter cut. We supply it within our Shoulders range under Lamb, to UK wholesale kitchens — restaurants, butchers and caterers. Typical uses include slow-roast sharing dishes, pulled lamb, tagines, curries and braises.
What it is
The forequarter shoulder, supplied whole and on the bone. It carries more connective tissue and intramuscular fat than the leg, which is exactly why it rewards time rather than speed: those tissues break down into gelatine and the meat stays moist long after a leg would have dried out.
How it is prepared
Whole, halved, boned and rolled, shank removed, or diced. Tell us the specification and we cut to it.

Typical trade use
A reliable section for kitchens because it is difficult to overcook and it holds well through a long service. Low and slow until the meat gives way at the blade bone. It also braises well once jointed into pieces.
