Chilled & Frozen
The section between neck and best end — deep flavour from well-worked muscle. We supply it within our Middle Necks range under Lamb, to UK wholesale kitchens — restaurants, butchers and caterers. Typical uses include hotpots, stews, curries and broths — anything where the cooking liquid becomes part of the dish rather than being discarded.
What it is
The middle neck sits between the scrag end and the best end, carrying rib bones and well-worked muscle. It is one of the most heavily-worked sections on the carcass and one of the most flavoured, which is the trade-off you accept in exchange for cooking it properly.
How it is prepared
Whole, cut into chops, boned, or racked.

Typical trade use
Hotpots, stews, curries and broths — anything where the cooking liquid becomes part of the dish rather than being discarded. Wet, slow cooking. The bones give body to the liquid, so cook it on the bone wherever the dish allows.
