The saddle of the lamb, made up of the loin, fillet and flank, is one of the finest roasting joints.
With it’s delicate flavour and tenderness it is perfect for a lighter, sunny, Sunday lunch.
We have added a fresh herby and citrus stuffing and would recommend serving with some mediterranean-style roasted vegetables and buttery crushed potatoes.
Great paired with crisp Provence rosé.
Dry-aged Isle of Wight lamb at it’s finest.
