Days are getting longer and lighter, and with them, our dishes are getting brighter too. An abundance of seasonal British produce will be hitting your plates in the coming weeks, from succulent asparagus to jersey royal potatoes. Spring is here!
We believe in eating seasonally as much as possible. Not only is it great for the planet, but ingredients taste better when they’re grown locally and travel minimal distances from the farm to your fork. It’s just one more reason we love working with British suppliers.
Look out for these seasonal ingredients and delicious dishes on the menu in the coming weeks. And don’t forget you can choose your recipes up to eight weeks ahead. Start browsing the options now to ensure you don’t miss these seasonal stars!
Jersey royal pearl potatoes
Grown only in Jersey, these small, nutty new potatoes are a uniquely British spring delight. They’re especially delicious in Piri Piri chicken with apple & fennel slaw, where we roast them in the oven until golden.
Asparagus
Tender and earthy, world-class British asparagus officially comes into season on April 23rd, as farmers begin harvesting the folate-rich spears. Enjoy them in our Spanish-inspired Romesco chilli & garlic prawn penne.
Spring lamb
What’s spring without succulent spring lamb? Ours is British, free-range and supremely juicy. We pair it with other favourites in the ultimate seasonal dish: Spring lamb, asparagus & roasted jersey royals.
Rainbow radishes
With enticing hues of blushing pink and deep purple, these radishes add pep to any salad! We love them in our Chicken niçoise with balsamic tomato dressing, full of sunshine flavours.
