Fancy a warm hearty dish to give you that comforting feeling when you have eaten something very yummy? 


Then pop down to Oxtail & Trotter this week and get a taste of winter.  We will be selling some delicious mutton from Boundary Farm. 


For those of you who have not tried it before, you have missed out! Mutton is a lovely flavoursome dark meat not dissimilar to lamb but bursting with a more intense flavour.  Why not try some this week and use one of the following recipes
