Autumn is a fantastic time for chefs, with an abundance of wonderful ingredients in season. And with Quality Standard lamb in plentiful supply at this time of year, what better way to capture the essence of the season of ‘mists and mellow fruitfulness’ than with the tantalising taste of fresh autumn lamb served with seasonal orchard fruits and root vegetables, such as blackberries, plums or leeks?

Due to rising food costs, this autumn it is more important than ever for chefs to find ways to deliver excellent quality meals, while still containing costs. By utilising more of the carcase and making use of more economical cuts, caterers can benefit from paying lower prices yet continue to serve quality meat that is fully assured from farm to plate.
