  This recipe was not falling off the bone in 3 hours. I reckon it needs 4 - 5 hours. Does anyone else agree?

  Just made this for Sunday Dinner and it was absolutely gorgeous! I was a bit wary about the cooking time due to the previous comment and all in all i think it was in the oven for about 3 and a half hours and it was deliciously tender. I served it with potato boulangere and it went down a treat. It was a little bit oily- but this was only due to the cut of meat and this was easily removed putting some ice cubes in the tray. I will definately make this again and will probably try it with fennel next time.

  I thought this to be a very easy and extremely satisfying recipe, however, am making it again for supper tonight but reducing the liquid a touch - probably omit the stock, as it created loads last time. Will check at 2 hrs and review it.

  I had this in the anchor and hope last week and it was amazing. I am going to do it for a group of 6 friends this weekend with boulangere potatoes & veg, however I have one guest who is a veggie - any ideas what I could do for them?

  Omit the stock but add a whole bottle of red wine, valpolicella is good, just leave it to cook for about 3 1/2 hours for a 5 1/2 lb shoulder joint, gorgeous!!

  This went down a treat in our house. Used the leftovers to make shephards pie. Two meals out of a relatively cheap cut of meat.

  I don't know if anyone else has noticed but the blurb says "Anchor & Hope's slow-cooked shoulder of lamb" and then it goes on to say, "Try this tender roast pork from one of London's first gastropubs ...

  Was a little disappointed as veg was not sticky and gorgeous but just a bit slushy and tomatoey. Was good, would make again but would leave on a lower heat for much much longer, possibly 5-6 hours next time. Wouldn't use the chopped tomatoes , or halve the amount . Meat was tender but not as tender as I had thought it would be.

  I love this recipe, so much so 4 of us had it for Christmas lunch last year, so easy but special at the same time. I've also tried it with chicken thigh on the bone, cooking time really depends on individual ovens, mine tends to run a bit hot so I turn it down to about 120 instead.

  I agree with the comment from patch - I found after 3 hours that the meat was not particularly tender and I was a little disappointed.

  easy to make but definately needs more time in the oven. family were starving when dinner was eventually ready!. On the plus side my mother in law loved it and asked for the recipe, as she's a lovely cook this was a real compliment.

  I love this receipe, it's a great way to feed 4 people, for under a pound each as there is so much veg and stock left the shepherds pie it makes afterwards is superb! Agree it can be a bit runny, so just use one tin of toms when I make mine and use more wine if it looks like it needs more liquid. Can't say as I've had a problem with the time, but I've got a fan oven so maybe that's why?

  I didn't enjoy cooking this too much. It turned out okay though turnips weren't well cooked way after meet was fine. Maybe I didn't brown them enough. Everyone enjoyed it though. I was dissappointed with the cost of shoulder and how little meat was on it. Maybe make again with a whole lamb leg when they're half price in the supermarket.

  For what it's worth - when it's put on the menu at the Anchor and Hope, it's called "5-hour shoulder of lamb" - so maybe a longer cooking time is appropriate !

  Went to the Hope and Anchor a few nights ago - its now the 7 hour slow cooked lamb shoulder. It was a little tougher than I expected but with organic/good quality lamb you get that sometimes (because it actually has used its muscles!)

  Also - try the same recipe with lamb shanks and cook for about 3 hours. Lovely

  It is a perfect slow cooker recipe (Yummie 16 May)! Used the same ingredients and cooked it for 11 hours. The meat fell apart and we ate it with salad and pitta bread. I put a few shredded lamb pieces into a hot oven for 10 mins to give us some crunchy bits for some texture variation!
