December sees the main season Spanish brassicas, salad leaves and tomatoes coming through.  Broccoli and cauliflower will increase after the recent UK flush until we solely rely on the Spanish and French supply.

Starting with broccoli and cauliflower, both of which are still UK (mainly Lancashire) and proving excellent in quality and have not moved either way on price throughout September and remain as competitively priced for October.

Throughout July we have seen a much steadier supply chain across all fresh produce from both UK and overseas. There have been fewer sudden shortages (for various reasons) that led to sharp price increases than we’ve seen in previous months.

Summer has arrived! A lot of UK produce starts to come into season at this time of year and throughout the months of July and August, we will start to see an array of wonderful UK produce.

We can only start with the recent Storm Filomena, the worst snowstorm to hit Spain in 50 years, hitting the supply of salad staples such as lettuce and tomatoes.

As part of the first step of the plan for easing lockdown in England we can look positively ahead to April 12th when we should see outdoor hospitality open and May 17th for indoor hospitality.
