English damsons

Intense and tangy, English damsons have a relatively short season, and are beloved of jam-makers. But the fruit grown for us in Herefordshire by brothers Jake and Rupert Simpson isn’t restricted to the preserving pan; these dark purple fruits also make deep-flavoured pies, crumbles and cobblers and add fruity zing to a creamy semifreddo.

In Season

Seasonal food is food at its best: delicious, plentiful, and special. As the year progresses, the changing seasons bring treats like Yorkshire forced rhubarb, new season lamb and Rocha pears. Our buyers understand food and farming, and because they buy in small quantities and know our suppliers well, they enjoy being able to bring seasonal treats into our stores as soon as they're ready to eat.
