Great when you can get it
Yes when you can get it hopeless for single people who don't want a whole shoulder and prefer it to lamb leg anyway. I notice Tesco are cutting out smaller options like the sweetcorn and probably others. Please reinstate the lamb Tesco.

I am sorry but this was appalling. It was mostly fat and so tough.We couldnt eat it.
DELICOUS!!!!!!
I roasted this exactly as instructions and it was done to perfection. Tender and delicious, and will definitely order again.Yes there is a little fat but that is exactly what gives the flavour and tenderness.
600g out of 816g piece edible meat
I've been getting these half lamb shoulders for a while to cut up for slow cooked lamb curries, and they taste great but lately the fat content seems to be going up; out of an 816g piece, 90g was bone (fine) and 126g was large chunks of fat that was too thick to leave The rest of the meat still had some fat (which is fine for a slow cooked curry) but these large chunks (which I still render down to fry the onions, so no other oil needed) are getting a bit much for the price...
Terrible
Have shopped on line with Tesco for over two years and this is the first time I have not been happy with an item. If it had been anything but meat I would have handed it straight back to the driver(he was lovely) it was so small, and yes I know lamb is expensive, but the picture shown was very deceptive. The meat is very fatty, and no way would I have picked that piece. Last time for me.
Fat & bone little meat
Should be zero stars. Just thick layer of fat with bone. The meat was tasty but far too little of it & mixed in with the fat like tiny islands. I had 2 attempts at eating the meat but gave up as bad lot. I’d steer well clear if I were you of this poor quality product. It is cheaper than other cuts for a reason.
Great lamb, wrong size
We really enjoyed this lamb and based on the quality of the meat alone I would give it 5 stars. We didn't follow the instructions on the pack, but instead looked on the internet for a slow cook recipe and cooked it for 3 1/2 hours in a casserole dish on a 'trivet' of onions and carrots and with a couple of cups of stock. It was incredible. However, BEWARE, if you order this online they will send you whatever size they fancy - even if you select a specific size and add notes for the picker, and you will pay the price for this - even if it is considerably more expensive than what you ordered. Most people want a fairly specific size to suit the number of people they are cooking for, and a lot of people are on a budget, so this is not good. I queried this after being charged more than twice what I wanted to pay. I was told that the only way I could get a refund was to return it to store. I can't do this as I'm disabled. And I dread to think why Tesco accepts meat returns that have been potentially sitting on a warm bus for some time on their return to store. Surely this meat isn't re-saleable? So why insist on the return to store? Just to make life impossible for disabled shoppers?

It’s always excellent, but I would this order to be the half-shoulder with the shoulder blade in it, not the foreleg joint. Is that possible?
Fat, fat and more fat !
900g weight, 600g of which was pure fat. Virtually inedible. I am 65 yrs old, and know how to slow cook a shoulder. This was truly the worst roast I have ever had.
