It took lots of tasting to find our perfect houmous, our suppliers based in Lancashire, a family run business since 1900, are suppliers of fine food and cheeses, their houmous is a simple blend of chickpeas, garlic, lemon juice and olive oil. Our customers agree with us that this is definitely the best tasting houmous, great for dipping and layering on sandwiches £3.30 per pot 330g
We have a new butter, Chive blossom butter. This is a seasonal, flavourful twist on herb butter, made with the mild, oniony flowers of the chive plant. It’s creamy, subtly savoury and visually stunning with flecks of purple. Perfect for spreading on bread, melting over meats or vegetables, and adding a special touch to everyday dishes. A short-season, small-batch treat that brings a bit of luxury to your table – perfect with this week’s Lancashire potatoes. £1.60 per pot
Our soup of the week this week is a delicious roasted tomato, this is so easy to make and the best tomato soup we have ever tasted! All the fresh ingredients you will need are included in the £25 and £15 boxes, you will just need to add oil and balsamic vinegar (we can include a small pot of balsamic enough for the recipe 50p) We use Little Doones balsamic vinegar in our recipes, this recipe works well with the original or chilli flavour. Little Doones is a small Scottish company who take great pride in only using fresh produce to flavour their balsamic, which comes from one of the oldest and longest established balsamic houses in the Modena region of Italy.
If you would like to add a bottle to your order you can choose from
original, chilli, smoked garlic, garlic, ginger,
Gold of Modena – a luscious golden dressing made with white balsamic vinegar, the flavour is almost honeyed but still sharp and light. This dressing works beautifully with sweet or savoury dishes. Try drizzled over strawberries or kiwi fruit or use as an alternative to traditional balsamic vinegar in recipes. £5.75
By popular demand we have included the new season Lancashire Maris Bard potatoes which were in our boxes last week, you all enjoyed them and they won’t be around for too long, just scrub, steam or boil and serve with butter and seasoning, it doesn’t get much better.
Nothing says summer like the first pick of tender, sweet English broad beans – freshly harvested and full of flavour! Perfect for tossing into salads, mashing with mint, or simply steamed with a knob of butter and a pinch of sea salt. Whether you’re a foodie or just love seasonal vegetables, now’s the time to enjoy them at their very best.
New Season English Broccoli Has Arrived! Crisp, vibrant, and packed with goodness – our fresh English broccoli is back in season and looking better than ever! Perfect for roasting, steaming, stir-frying, or just enjoying with a drizzle of olive oil and a squeeze of lemon. Raw it is fantastic in our very popular broccoli salad. Don’t forget you can eat the stems, this new season broccoli has the most tender stem, just peel and chop, cook or add raw to salads.
This weeks lettuce hasn’t had to travel far at all, grown by W R & A K Halman in Cranage Nr Knutsford, we have chosen Red Oak Leaf lettuce. The leaves have a mild, sweet, and nutty flavour with a similar texture to flat/butter lettuce.

Our new potato cakes have been very popular, made for us by All Things Nice in Marple, these are the most authentic potato cakes we have ever tried. They are a substantial size £1.10 each and you can add to your order from Wednesdays onwards.
Our very popular artisan bread will be available from Wednesday onwards. we will have white and seeded sourdough, white and wholemeal cob available every Wednesday and Thursday, Friday and Saturdays we will also have focaccia and French sticks, our bread can sell out very quickly to make sure you aren’t disappointed send us a message or phone the shop on 01457 852456 and we will make sure we save one for you. Bread always seems to be the first thing that people cut out of their diets when trying to cut down, but sourdough not only delivers a tangy flavour that’s perfect for toast and sandwiches, it is good for you, too! The fermentation process for sourdough bread can lead to an increased number of prebiotic and probiotic-like properties, which help improve gut health. It freezes exceptionally well so you won’t be tempted to eat the whole loaf.
