About the dish

Roast leg of Lakeland lamb is a traditional dish originating from Cumbria. The main ingredient of the dish is leg of Lakeland Herdwick lamb, characterized by tender and fine-grained meat. The flavor of the meat is unique, gamey, and intense due to long periods of grazing and slow maturation process of the lambs. Once the leg of Lakeland lamb has been seasoned and roasted to perfection, the meat is typically served with accompaniments such as roast potatoes, Yorkshire pudding, British mint sauce, apple and nettle jelly, seasonal vegetables, or delicious gravy. The dish is often served as a part of Sunday roast (Sunday lunch) menus.
