English Asparagus is now at its glorious peak, crisp, tender and absolutely perfect for crafting light, elegant dishes that celebrate the essence of Spring and Summer. The vibrant green spears bring a delightful crunch, making them an ideal companion for everything from delicate salads to sumptuous risottos.
Once the time is up, unwrap the muslin to reveal the thickened labneh, which should have a rich, creamy consistency similar to thick cream cheese. Store it in the fridge until you’re ready to use it.
But that’s not all! The first early English Strawberries are making their sweet entrance. Their ruby-red hue adds a beautiful contrast to any plate, whether you’re tossing them into a refreshing dessert or simply enjoying them on their own.
As we embrace the bounty of the season, Isle of Wight Tomatoes are arriving, their rich, sun-kissed taste promising to elevate your dishes with a burst of freshness. Pair them with Cornish New Potatoes, creamy and tender, they’re perfect for roasting or mashing.
And let’s not forget the English Rhubarb, arriving in abundance with its tart, vibrant stalks. This versatile ingredient can transform your desserts or even add a surprising twist to savoury dishes, bringing a unique zing to your culinary creations.

Elevate your menu with this exquisite dish featuring a perfectly grilled flat iron steak, enhanced by a rich Café de Paris butter. This cut, known for its tenderness and flavour, is ideal for high-heat cooking. Season the steak meticulously, sear it to your desired doneness, and finish with a generous dollop of the herby, umami-rich butter for that signature touch. Accompany the steak with a fresh watercress salad, adding a peppery contrast that balances the richness of the butter. Perfect for fine dining or upscale casual settings!
