UK PRODUCE SEASONALITY GUIDE
Every fruit and vegetable has its own season from Spring Cabbage, Summer Berries, Autumn Squashes to Brussels Sprouts for Winter. As every good Chef knows, eating seasonally means fresh produce can be enjoyed at its very best whilst benefitting from great value for money.
Use our UK Produce Seasonality Guide to see what’s in season year-round and use this as an aid to planning your menus. When the seasons permit we always try our very best to use locally sourced produce.
Please note, this is not a comprehensive list of all we supply, just produce that is grown right here in the UK.
Weather conditions affect growing seasons making them longer or shorter, hence this is only a rough guide.
| In Season in the UK | This is when produce is at its best and most widely available. |
