Coastal Club
2025
15th February 2025
On 15th February we will all be celebrating NATIONAL LAMB DAY here in New Zealand. This day celebrates a milestone for our country – 142 years since the first shipment of New Zealand lamb left our shores and headed for London, showcasing our high quality lamb to the rest of the world.
Our youngest Coastal Lamb sisters Harriet & Sophie O’Neill have loved our Coastal Lamb Racks since day dot.
Sophie & Harriet O’Neill are big fans of Coastal Lamb racks!
Introducing Zeyn Buksh
In the spirit of national Lamb Day, we caught up with Head Chef of Auckland’s gin & cocktail bar, Churchill.
For Zeyn, using only the best of New Zealand’s products has always been a top priorty. He says that is why he chose to partner with Coastal Lamb whose exceptional quality and consistency align perfectly with his values.
Nothing makes our job as farmers more rewarding than hearing such positive feedback from our chefs and customers…
“Having previously worked with Coastal Lamb’s rack, rump and now cap on loin, I can attest that Coastal Lamb’s products offer a noticeable difference in texture – tender, fine-grained and effortlessly succulent. However it is the unwavering consistency that truly sets Coastal Lamb apart. Every cut, every time delivers the same outstanding flavour and quality and it is an indispensible additon to my menus whereever I have led”.
Currently on the menu at Churchill is the Coastal Lamb Loin served with their own mix of blackberry dijon, Anabel Labneh yoghurt and blackberry powder.
On the farm…
At the end of 2024, Sam Redmayne organised & hosted Welsh shearer Llyr Jones – the winner of New Zealand’s richest speed shear prize in 2024 – on-farm at Tunnel Hill. He then headed to the Wairarapa to attempt the world two-stand eight-hour strong wool lambs record of 1,410.
In the end, Llyr claimed individual bragging rights with 708 lambs for the day falling only 15 short of the world two-stand record.

Chinese New Year
at the Jervois Steak House
Auckland’s very own Jervois Steak House offered an exclusive menu to mark the beginning of the Year of the Snake which ran 29th January – 1st February. This culinary experience carefully blended the best local cuts and produce with the celebratory essence of the Chinese New Year.
We were proud to see our Coastal Lamb rack prepared to perfection featured on the menu as a main.
