A Royal banquet of lamb from the Cotswold Sheep


The lamb from the Cotswold breed of sheep served at the Pre-Royal wedding celebration hosted by the Queen, for European Royals, the Sultan of Brunei and Sheikh Hamoud Al-Sabah of Kuwait, was described as 'nothing short of perfect'.

The Cotswold breed of sheep, with it's characteristic fringe was almost extinct and in the 1960s when there were just 200 left in England. Numbers increased due to the work of the Cotswold Sheep Society and the move toward more sustainable agriculture, and now the 'Cotswold Lion' is frequently seen grazing the upland pastures.
