Traditional Welsh lamb cawl recipe
Cawl is a traditional Welsh stew made with meat and vegetables. There are many different versions made with whatever produce people have in their larders and fridges, with recipes often handed down from generation to generation. Ours is made with lovely Welsh lamb – enjoy it with crusty bread and chunks of Welsh cheese.
Wonderful Welsh lamb
Did you know all our fresh lamb, from succulent steaks to family-favourite mince, is 100% British all year round?
Currently, we source our fresh lamb from Wales, where it’s best in season. We work closely with our farmers, who all share our high environmental and animal-welfare standards, ensuring only top-quality meat makes it on to our shelves.
Star sourdough
Our Collection sourdough loaves, baguettes and rolls are made to an exclusive recipe at Village Bakery, an award-winning spot in North Wales run by brothers and third-generation bakers Robin and Christien Jones.
Making sourdough is like making beer – it takes patience, knowledge and enough time to get it just right. Each loaf takes more than 30 hours to make, allowing it to develop an incredible flavour and irresistible texture. There are some foods that require the latest techniques to make, but with our sourdough, it’s all about going back to basics.
Nothing artificial – like commercial yeast – is added. It’s folded several times by hand, which develops the protein in the flour, creating an open texture and signature air bubbles, then baked on Italian marble for a deep, dark crust. It's total bread bliss.
Welsh cakes
It doesn’t get better than our Welsh cakes, made to an all-butter recipe and packed with juicy Vostizza currants. Serve warm with butter and your favourite cuppa.
