What's In Season - February

2nd February 2021

Based in Winsford, Cheshire, we pride ourselves on supporting caterers and chefs to develop innovative menus, utilising locally grown, in-season ingredients that are not only more sustainable, but also offer great value.

Partnered with Love British Food, we work to encourage retailers and caterers to responsibly source food for our schools, hospitals, food outlets, with the aim to make British produce their preferred supplier of choice.

We have selected a number of recipes to help you utilise in-season ingredients this February, proving just how versatile, tasty and cost effective local produce an be.
