Seasonal produce at its finest, embrace the versatility of lamb to feed your guests a host of Cornish-sourced dishes they'll love



You may take some time poring over menus, discussing options and fine-tuning a wedding feast - but don't forget to consider the question of where your food comes from. Sarah and Lucy from The Round Kitchen are fully embracing the idea of sourcing local and seasonal ingredients, as they partner with a friend who'll be raising their own lambs. "The food miles will be tiny," says Lucy. "They will be Zwartble cross lambs, grass-fed and slowly and lovingly reared to enable the best quality lean meat."

A selection of tender lamb dishes will offer your guests a real fine dining experience, but with a delicious home-cooked taste, as these dishes devised by The Round Kitchen illustrate. Succulent lamb chops are served alongside fresh vegetables, while a roasted leg of lamb is perfect for those who love a classic flavour. The real pièce de resistance, however, is the slow-roasted lamb shoulder, its tender juices filling the air with the aroma of a coriander and lime stuffing. Served with crispy roasted new potatoes, flavoured with Bombay spices, plus honey-cooked carrots and spinach pakoras, it's the flawless feast of flavoursome roast, cooked to perfection.

As well as a focus on reducing food miles, The Round Kitchen will work towards a 'nose-to-tail' policy, so as much of the lamb is used as possible, ensuring you get the most amount of food, with minimal wastage.

"Over the past 11 years, we have continued to try and add extra strings to our bow, such as curing our own salmon and pork and baking our own bread to name but a few," says Lucy. "So this is where the inspiration for our lamb menu came from, showcasing not only the versatility of this fantastic meat, but also just how many dishes could be used throughout the wedding breakfast and beyond."

Indeed, the other advantage of embracing lamb is you can incorporate it into many elements of your wedding food. Canapes such as crumbed lamb dippers in a tomato sauce, or lamb koftas, bring a seasonal flavour to proceedings. As well as a sumptuous wedding breakfast, the evening's festivities can be aided with a flavoursome lamb curry, tender chunks of meat in a rich and slow-simmered sauce, to keep your guests' energy levels up as they hit the dance floor.

And it's not just restricted to W-day either. A hearty shepherd's pie is the perfect sharing dish the night before the wedding, best enjoyed around a big wooden table with glasses of spicy red wine raised in anticipation of the day ahead. Or treat your guests to it for lunch the next day, helping those hangovers disappear as you debrief on all the highs and hilarities from the best day of your life.
