Welcome to Comeragh Mountain Lamb

Mountain Lamb is a well kept culinary secret and Comeragh Mountain Lamb has it's own unique story.

William Drohan is currently farming in Comeragh, Co Waterford where he lives with his wife Bridget and young family. He is the sixth generation of his family to herd sheep in the Comeragh Mountains. From the age of ten, William had a passion for shepherding sheep. This interest was developed and nurtured by his family who passed on their tradition, skill and experience to him, that they in turn had learned from their ancestors.

"I had Comeragh lamb served three ways, braised shoulder with parsnips, loin with spinach and fillet with aubergine caviar. Cracking stuff!"
