Saddle of Lamb, Bone-In is the double loin cut from British lamb, sold as Barnsley and T-bone chops or diced rather than as a single uncut joint. Certified Halal and made from 100% Baby Lamb Meat, it's suited to curries, grills, casseroles and stews. Choose fat-on or fat-off preparation, in packs from 500g up to 4kg.
What Is This Saddle of Lamb?
The saddle is the loin section running down the lamb's back, left bone-in here so the T-bone stays in each chop for flavour and easy handling on the grill. This is 100% Baby Lamb Meat, prepared fat-on or fat-off so you can trim to taste before cooking.
Is Saddle of Lamb Sold as One Whole Joint?
No, the name describes where the cut comes from, not how it arrives at your door, and this saddle is never left as a single roasting joint. It's sold ready-portioned as Barnsley or T-bone chops, or diced for curry and stew, ranging from 200-225g chops down to 10-15g dice. That range makes it easy to pick exactly the size a curry or grill recipe calls for.
Cutting Styles, Preparation and Pack Sizes
Order this saddle as Thick Barnsley Chops (200-225g), Thin Barnsley Chops (80-120g), Thick T-Bone Chops (50-60g), Thin T-Bone Chops (25-35g), Diced Mid (20-30g) or Diced Small (10-15g).
- Fat-on or fat-off preparation
- Packs from 500g to 4kg, including 500g, 1kg, 2kg and 4kg
Order by pack size to match your household or gathering: a 500g pack suits a couple of chops, while 1kg, 2kg or 4kg packs scale up for family meals, gatherings or bulk curry batches.
Defrost frozen saddle of lamb in the fridge, allowing around 12 hours before cooking. Once thawed, cook it within the timeframe stated on the pack rather than refreezing it raw.
Diced saddle of lamb suits a slow-cooked lamb curry, while the Barnsley and T-bone chops suit grilling for a mixed lamb chop platter. The same chops also work well finished in a lamb karahi or cooked over charcoal as chargrilled chops.
Sear thick Barnsley chops (200-225g) in a hot pan or on the barbecue for a few minutes each side, then rest before serving. Pan-fry thin T-bone chops (25-35g) quickly over high heat so the bone stays moist and the meat doesn't overcook. Simmer diced mid (20-30g) or diced small (10-15g) low and slow in a lamb curry until tender.
How much notice should I give for a large saddle of lamb order?
For bigger orders spanning multiple pack sizes, from 500g up to 4kg, or a mix of cutting styles, place your order as early as you can so everything is ready together.
Can I combine chops and diced lamb in one large order?
Yes, Barnsley chops, T-bone chops and diced portions can all be combined in the same order, alongside fat-on or fat-off preparation, so mention the mix you need when you order.
What's the best way to make sure a large order is ready on time?
Confirm the pack sizes and cutting styles you want, such as thick or thin Barnsley chops versus diced mid or small, at the point of ordering so the right combination can be pulled together.
How do I check a large order matches what was ordered?
Check the pack sizes, 500g, 1kg, 2kg or 4kg, and cutting styles against what arrives, since Barnsley and T-bone chops are sized differently, from 200-225g down to 25-35g.
