What Makes Salt Marsh Lamb So Special?

Not all lamb is the same, and nowhere is that more evident than with Salt Marsh Lamb Sourced from coastal pastures that flood with the tides, this is one of Britain’s most distinctive and sought-after lamb varieties.

The secret lies in the grazing. Sheep roam freely across salt marshes, feeding on nutrient-rich grasses and coastal plants that naturally enhance the flavour of the meat. This environment produces lamb that is beautifully tender, subtly sweet and never overpowering — ideal for those who enjoy a more refined lamb flavour.

Salt Marsh lamb works just as well for slow Sunday roasts as it does for lighter spring meals. A Salt Marsh Lamb shoulder or leg roasted low and slow delivers rich flavour with minimal effort, while lamb cutlets and chops are perfect for pan-frying or grilling when you want something quicker.

Because the animals grow naturally and at their own pace, the meat has a fine texture that doesn’t need heavy seasoning. A little rosemary, garlic and good olive oil is often all that’s required.

Choosing Salt Marsh lamb also means supporting British farmers who work with the landscape rather than against it. These traditional grazing systems help maintain fragile coastal ecosystems while producing outstanding food.

If you’re looking to experience lamb at its best, Salt Marsh lamb is a brilliant place to start.
