Our buyers’ top recommendations for quality, flavour and value
Corn Cob
Fresh sweetcorn is ideal for cooking on the barbecue – simple, sweet
and juicy. This summer highlight is delivered with the leafy husk intact
to ensure maximum freshness.
Peas
Sweet and tender
English peas have
replaced Italian, and
are a versatile, great
value ingredient.
Lettuce
Grown just down the road in Lancashire, crisp Lollo Rosso, Biondi
and Oak leaf lettuce will be staples of many salads, sandwiches
and starters.
Coco de Paimpol beans
This small, white haricot bean is grown exclusively in Brittany, harvested
by hand and supplied fresh in pods. These beans can be used in cold
dishes such as salads and dips, as well as in hot side dishes, soups,
curries and stews.
