FOR SUSTAINABLE LAMB: LAUNDE FARM FOODS

Launde Farm Foods specialise in grass-fed, sustainable lamb.

All of their lamb is grass-fed, sustainable and slow-grown, and butchered on the family farm. They will create bespoke meat boxes and strive to provide any cut, but we recommend the delicious Barnsley Chop – well-hung, tender and delicious.

FOR NORFOLK SHRIMPS: STOBERRY POTTED SHRIMPS

Stoberry Potted Shrimps are potted in small batches and frozen to retain freshness.

There is surely no better lockdown supper than potted shrimps. Stoberry Potted Shrimps are caught in the shallow waters off the Norfolk Wash and then hand peeled in Kings Lynn. The result is a delicious, distinctive taste and, when combined with the secret recipe, brown shrimp buttery goodness. Best to stock up on 5 x 200g Stoberry Potted Shrimps to see you through lockdown.

The loaves can be frozen, to see you through lockdown.
