Briggs' Shetland Lamb
The prestigious event is considered to be the ‘Oscars of the food world’ with all products tasted by a panel of industry experts, including fine food retailers, chefs, restaurant critics and food writers. This year over 7,000 different products entered and only 608 achieved the Two Gold Stars.
This year’s entry for Briggs’ Shetland Lamb was a leg of hill hog from the Benston and East Kame Crofts, South Nesting, which was processed by Shetland Livestock Marketing Group (SLMG) at their Laxfirth Abattoir and prepared by the butchers at A & JK Anderson, Whiteness.
Commenting on the win, owner Richard Briggs said: “I am delighted to have won this award especially against such strong competition. The award is a great boost to our confidence in Native Shetland Lamb as we start selling this season’s meat. Customers are attracted by the provenance of the meat but it is the quality and the service they receive that keeps them buying year on year.”
