As the days grow lighter and the first signs of spring appear, our appetites naturally shift. We crave lighter flavours, fresher ingredients and meals that bring people together around the table. At our butcher’s counter, spring is one of the most exciting times of year — and our March Hamper has been carefully curated to showcase the very best seasonal cuts.

Here’s what makes each one a perfect choice right now.

🌿 6 x 6oz Lamb & Mint Burgers

Spring and lamb go hand in hand. In fact, British lamb is at its sweetest and most delicate at this time of year.

Our lamb & mint burgers are expertly balanced — fresh mint enhances the natural sweetness of spring lamb without overpowering it. The result? A burger that feels lighter than beef but just as satisfying.

Perfect for:

✔Early spring BBQs

✔Quick midweek dinners

✔Serving in brioche buns with fresh salad and tzatziki

They’re fresh, aromatic and made for brighter evenings.

🍖 1.5kg Boned & Rolled Lamb Shoulder Joint

Few cuts say “Sunday in spring” quite like a lamb shoulder. We bone and roll it for even cooking and effortless carving — no fuss, just flavour.

Shoulder is beautifully marbled, which means it becomes meltingly tender when slow roasted. Add rosemary, garlic and a splash of white wine, and you’ve got a centrepiece worthy of Easter or any family gathering.

Why it’s ideal for spring:

✔Rich but not heavy

✔Perfect for seasonal vegetables like asparagus and new potatoes

✔Brilliant for leftovers (think lamb flatbreads or shepherd’s pie)

Slow, simple cooking that delivers outstanding results.

🦌 2 x 8oz Venison Loin Steaks

Spring is also a fantastic time to enjoy leaner, premium game cuts — and venison loin is as good as it gets.

This is a naturally lean, tender cut with a refined flavour — rich, but clean. Cooked medium-rare in a hot pan and rested properly, it’s restaurant-quality dining at home.

Why choose venison in spring?

✔Lean and high in protein

✔Pairs beautifully with seasonal greens

✔Ideal for lighter, elegant meals

Serve with crushed new potatoes and a redcurrant jus for a stunning spring supper.

🥩 2 x 7oz Thick-Cut Pork Steaks

Pork comes into its own as we move away from winter stews and towards grilling and pan-searing.

Our thick-cut pork steaks are selected for flavour and succulence. With just the right amount of marbling, they stay juicy whether cooked on the grill, in a pan or under the oven.

Spring serving ideas:

✔Honey and mustard glaze

✔Apple and spring onion salsa

✔Charred tenderstem broccoli on the side

Simple, hearty and full of character.

🌾 500g Pork & Leek Link Sausage

There’s something wonderfully traditional about pork and leek. The sweetness of pork combined with the mild onion flavour of leek makes these sausages ideal for the season.

Coarse-textured and expertly seasoned, they’re incredibly versatile:

✔Sausage traybakes with root veg

✔Creamy mash and spring greens

✔Breakfast baps for weekend mornings

Comforting, but lighter than winter-heavy flavours.

🌱 Why Spring Calls for These Cuts

Spring cooking is all about balance. We move from slow, heavy winter braises toward:

✔ Fresher flavours
✔ Lighter proteins
✔ Seasonal pairings
✔ Outdoor cooking opportunities

Lamb is at its seasonal best. Venison offers lean sophistication. Pork brings versatility and comfort without heaviness. Together, these cuts reflect everything we love about cooking at this time of year — freshness, flavour and sharing good food.

Our March Hamper isn’t just a selection of meats — it’s a celebration of the season, prepared by skilled butchers who know exactly what works on your plate right now.
