A FARM ESTATE based near Corwen will supply some of its organic Welsh lamb for HM The Queen's birthday party celebrations this week.

Queen Elizabeth II, who turned 93 in April, celebrates two birthday's every year, with the second usually falling on the second Saturday in June.

This is due to an old tradition which dates back hundreds of years, with official celebrations to mark the Sovereigns' birthday held on a day other than their actual birthday.

This year, Rhug Estate's Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) lamb will be served at part of the HRH The Queen's celebrations held at the British High Commission in Singapore.

Eight hundred guests will attend the flagship event and will be served Rhug’s award-winning organic Lamb Shoulder.

The event will celebrate the links between Singapore and the UK and will showcase the Singapore – UK Partnership for the Future.

This will be the fourth year that Rhug Estate has been involved and supplied the lamb.

Lord Newborough, owner of Rhug Estate, said, “It is a great honour to be asked to supply our top-quality organic Welsh lamb for this special occasion.

"We have a great relationship with our customers in Singapore and relish the opportunity to celebrate the successful business links between our two countries. My thanks go to Hybu Cig Cymru / Meat Promotion Wales for their financial assistance in being able to provide Welsh Lamb for this event in Singapore."

Rhug Estate has been supplying many of the top restaurants and hotels in Singapore since 2009 with organic lamb, salt marsh lamb, beef and chicken reared on the estate.

The farm has also been supplying meat to the Royal households for the past seven years including Welsh lamb, chickens, turkeys and bison meat.

A Royal Warrant of Appointment Certificate was issued in April 2018 which states Rhug Organic Farm is certified, by command of His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, to supply organic meat to His Royal Highness’ households.

Their Organic Welsh Lamb Shoulder joint, was voted in 2012 as one of the 'Best Top 50 Foods in the UK' by the acclaimed Great Taste Awards.
