Top celebrity chef, Gordon Ramsay of the `THE f WORD

AND CHAROLLAIS
Top celebrity chef, Gordon Ramsay of the
‘THE f WORD’ Channel 4 programme chose
CHAROLLAIS X WELSH MOUNTAIN lambs
to rear in his garden in London and to serve at
a special dinner at Claridges.
The F Word is filmed in
the glamourous
F Word restaurant,
based in central
London.
Each show turns the
restaurant into a highoctane environment,
where guests enjoy the
culinary masterpieces.
AND CHAROLLAIS
Gordon travelled to Aberkinsey Farm in North
Wales to meet award winning sheep farmer
Meilir Owain Jones. They selected the
Charollais Ram and checked him for meaty
qualities and good testicles!
The Charollais ram
soon got down to
business and served
the Welsh Hill ewes.
AND CHAROLLAIS
Meilir delivers Gordon’s special F Word
Charollais X Welsh lambs, Gavin and
Charlotte, along with their mothers, to his
home in London. The whole Ramsay family is
involved, putting up fencing and making
friends with the new lambs.
AND CHAROLLAIS
Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall comes to visit, and
is impressed by the growth and shape of the
lambs. He feels they need some
“environmental enrichment” and builds them
a new mountain. But they need to move to
pastures new and find a new home at
“Beckingham Palace”.
AND CHAROLLAIS
Mei and his shearing expert Robin arrive at
Beckingham Palace to shear the ewes. Gordon
has a go but his fleece ends up more than a
little holey. This was the last time Gordon
would see Charlotte alive - she was killed,
possibly by a large cat.
AND CHAROLLAIS
Meilir supplies Gordon with two Charollais
lambs to make sure he has sufficient, delicious
and succulent lamb for his Claridges dinner. At
17 weeks they are old enough for slaughter,
but Gavin escapes the abattoir due to
antibiotic treatment.
AND CHAROLLAIS
The Charollais lambs are served up at
Claridges in two fabulous dishes - shepherds
pie, and a roast leg of lamb with goat’s
cheese. Everyone agrees the lamb is
delicious; tender and full of flavour. The
perfect lamb, cooked to perfection.
