Product Description
Ocado Half Leg of West Country Lamb.
The West Country is a traditional heartland for sheep production in England and its pastoral heritage is built on the temperate climate and excellent conditions for producing the best quality lamb, grazing some of the best quality pastures in the land.
Sheep have grazed in the West Country for thousands of years and the tradition of keeping sheep can be traced continuously for many generations. Many farming and grazing practices used today are in fact based on the traditional practices employed many centuries ago, shaped by the natural cycles of the farming calendar. Many of the traditional breeds such as the Polled Dorset and Dorset Horn breeds are prominent today because they were farmed in concert with the longer growing season and their natural ability to produce lambs for the spring. Grass is the most natural and sustainable source of feed and nutrition for sheep production and helps deliver some of the best in meat quality too.
The warmer climate of the region, refreshed by natural rainfall means the grass grows almost continuously throughout the year. Therefore, our farmers in the region can produce naturally reared and high quality finished lambs all year ‘round. All our lamb is independently Farm Assured to guarantee confidence and assurance of our products. We also combine state-of-the art processing with traditional butchery methods to ensure 100% of the care, provenance and quality of lamb is maintained from field to fork.
This is an Ocado product. Like everything in our range, it's good quality, sensibly priced and, of course, responsibly sourced.
It is hand selected and traditionally butchered, so size and cut of meat may vary.

Too small
Again, as another reviewer has pointed out, not the expected size. When I ordered a 1kg half leg of lamb I expected to get 1kg not 900gms which is not what I want for my recipe unless I buy more. Why can't they be more accurate?

Annoying label
Lovely tender lamb but please sort out the "peel here" arrangement on the label to get to the cooking instructions as they are impossible to manage unless you have a microscope and the fingers of a tiny delicate fairy.

Very tender and juicy
Generous amount of meat on the bone. My whole family commented on how delicious the meat was and they are very discerning! Highly recommend.

Far too small
Although the description says the minimum weight is 800g mine is nearer 600g and far away from the ideal 1kg i wanted. A trip to the supermarket now required so I am very disappointed Ocado

creative butchery!
I have not been so disappointed with OCADO before! This is not a half leg its a hock! The leg has been cut too far down and I shall now have to make something else with it because its not enough for two alone.
