Looking for recommended Lamb and Pork boxes for freezer

Options
Hi

I have just got a new upright freezer and I am looking for recommendations on where would be the best places to get a lamb and probably a half pig to stock the freezer. I have asked my local butcher but he seems extortionate and I know that some of you here buy your lamb and pork in bulk this way.

If any of you can recommend a stockist who delivers that would be great.

Many thanks xx

    Depends on what you think is extortionate. I pay £60 for half lamb or £100 for whole at my local butcher

    What did yours quote?

    Thanks for the replies guys. My butcher quoted £160 for a whole lamb. The last time I went for a leg of lamb for a treat he announced that it was £24 as he was handing it over all wrapped up. The shop was full and DH was with me so he took the lamb and paid. When we got out I had a rant at him for paying that amount and he said no way was he saying to take it back in front of everyone :mad:
