This Week’s cheese – Crumbly Lancashire

Our cheese this week is a Crumbly Lancashire, which is sold young (2-6 weeks old) and is characterised by being bright-white, very crumbly, sharp and fresh in flavour. Crumbly Lancashire is a relative newcomer compared to the Creamy or Tasty Lancashire cheese. It was the demand for a younger and a less expensive cheese which resulted in the production of Crumbly Lancashire cheese some 50 years ago. This is definitely one of our best sellers and possibly the best Lancashire cheese we have tasted. perfect for your Easter cheese board.

Fish Recipes this week

Premium Tuna Steaks

Fresh, versatile, and packed with flavour

Our tuna is ideal for pan-searing or enjoying raw — beautifully meaty, clean-tasting, and incredibly easy to cook.

Pan-Seared (Simple & Stunning)
Keep it minimal to let the tuna shine. Season with salt and cracked black pepper, add a drizzle of olive oil, and heat a heavy skillet until smoking hot. Sear for 1–2 minutes per side for a rare, melt-in-the-mouth centre. Finish with our Village Greens chilli and lemon butter for a gentle heat and citrus lift.

Japanese-Style Marinated Tuna
For a flavourful twist, try a quick marinade of soy sauce, fresh ginger, garlic, and a dash of sesame oil. Marinate for 15–30 minutes — just enough to enhance the tuna without overpowering its natural flavour.

Raw/ Sashimi Style

Slice thinly using a sharp knife for clean elegant cuts.

Serve well chilled for the best texture.

Perfect with soy sauce, wasabi, pickled ginger, or a light citrus dressing.

Fresh, sashimi-grade tuna is wonderfully versatile -enjoy it bold and simple, raw or just kissed by heat.

Scottish Salmon

Exceptionally fresh, rich and full of flavour

Our Scottish salmon is perfect for simple cooking that lets it’s quality shine.

Pan-Fried Crispy Skin Salmon. Pat the skin dry and season generously. Cook skin-side down in a hot pan with a little oil until golden and crisp. Flip and cook for 1-2 minutes to finish. Serve with Village Greens chilli and lemon butter for a bright, buttery finish.

Whether baked or pan-fried, simply melt the chilli and lemon butter over the salmon just before serving. It adds a rich, zesty kick that pairs beautifully with the natural sweetness of the fish.
