About 

Every batch is hand cut, and hand stirred.  We love to cook what our customers love to eat, and that’s variety of traditional recipes, often bringing happy childhood memories e.g. Green Tomato Chutney and our own original/unique creations e.g. Spicy Carrot Relish.  

We local and we love seasonal. That means popular jars may sell out until the next growing season. Although where fruit and vegetables suit freezing, we do that – so through those cold winter months we are able to enjoy tomatoes grown by Daniel at Anema’s in Dereham

 

 

 

 

 

In addition to the fabulous fresh fruit and vegetables grown here, Norfolk boasts the most amazing band of wine and spirit producers, and where a recipe calls for a nip we continue to love and use local! 

January traditionally is a dull month, but not so for us.  The kitchen is filled with the zesty fragrance of breakfast fruit royalty…Seville oranges, grown by Amadora of Gospa Citrus, who, in our view is the Queen of Seville oranges growers! .

A lifelong love affair with handmade preserves and pickles, which started in childhood meant at every opportunity Connie would break out the jam pan to cook up sweet and savoury treats.

As a cricket widow she often made jam to fill the Victoria Sponges for mid-innings tea at Rocklands Cricket Club.

In 2013 Yorkshire Tea ran a competition to find the best cricket tea in the land. Connie entered and was a finalist.  She was invited to Lord’s, the home of cricket where she served tea in the Long Room.

Her delicious handcrafted jam and chutney ensured she won the competition and a super new kitchen for Rocklands Cricket Club.
