These easy Mango Chutney Tarts are perfect for Diwali and other festive gatherings, melding British baking techniques and Indian-inspired flavours for a sweet-savoury party snack. The savoury pastry is flavoured with cumin seeds and turmeric for a vibrant yellow hue, whilst sweet mango chutney serves as a lovely alternative to jam.

This simple gnocchi recipe is a wonderfully Autumnal dinner for two, making the most of seasonal mixed mushrooms as well as nutty, salty parmesan shavings. It works with any kind of mushroom, but we love the variety of textures and flavours found in our mixed mushroom boxes. A great mid-week meal!

This easy Korean Barbecue and American sports bar-inspired sharing platter is the perfect thing to enjoy in front of the rugby, or even a Saturday night movie night! Everything cooks at the same temperature at the same time for ease of preparation, and you can easily marinate the chicken drumsticks a day or two ahead. Just remember to chill a couple of beers from our bottle shop to serve alongside!

Skirt steaks are just made for the barbecue, ready to be sliced and piled onto a platter for sharing. If you don’t fancy messing around with marinades or dry rubs this aromatic, fresh and punchy Charred Pepper Salsa is quick to make whilst the meat is resting pairs perfectly with our aged steaks.

With just two ingredients, this Watermelon Limeade is the perfect summer drink to cool down with for the whole family - though adults might want to add a splash of tequila for a Watermelon Margarita-style sip that is perfect to enjoy over lots of ice.

Make the most of Kentish cherry season with this Chocolate and Cherry Eton Mess - the ultimate twist on the classic dessert. Cherry and dark chocolate is a combination everyone is bound to love... and for a grown up version a splash of kirsch or cherry brandy in the maceration liquid won’t go amiss!

To celebrate International Women's Day this year we put the call out to our fabulous community to share their favourite foodie memories with us - specifically those recipes from the inspirational women in our lives. We had a number of delicious entries but the one that really stood out to us was from Gillian Dawson who nominated her daughter Milly and her Beef Keema Pies!

We’ve combined the rich flavour of griddled Shottenden lamb, marinated slowly in local yoghurt and spices and paired it with juicy segments of orange and soft, sweet onion steaks. Alongside this, we’ve prepared a simple salad from Sicilian Marinda tomatoes.  

A delicious springtime salad that goes with everything.  We recommend trying it with baked trout, or if the weather permits, Barnsley lamb chops grilled on the barbeque.
