Raw Lamb Chump Chop — Lamb Chump cut

The chump is the rump section of the lamb, located between the loin and the leg. It produces thick, well-flavoured chump chops that are meatier than loin chops but with more fat marbling. A British grill staple, the chump chop is often sold with a small round bone in the centre. The chump can also be sold as a boneless roasting joint, and is valued for its balance of leanness and depth of flavour.
