Have a photo of Lamb Chump Chop from your butcher? and we'll credit you.

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.
