worldwide. And as one of the four prestigious Grand Slam events, it is
Wimbledon’s rich history, traditions and customs that captivate fans year after

tennis attire to the meticulous grooming of the courts and its royal patronage,
every detail comes together to create an atmosphere of sophistication and
charm. Among these cherished customs, the indulgence in strawberries and cream
certainly stands out as a treat that has become synonymous with Wimbledon…
Savouring the class British delight of strawberries and cream
At what other event is strawberries and cream offered as the
typical stand food?! This tradition dates back to the 19th century.
With strawberries peak plumpness coinciding with the timing of Wimbledon, it’s
no wonder it’s become a cherished delicacy.
The enduring popularity of strawberries and cream can be
attributed to the simplicity and elegance of the fine combination. And our
pairing of local strawberries
and Longley Farm double cream upholds this timeless appeal! To fully savour
this special bundle, gently wash your strawberries and remove their leafy tops,
whip up your double cream and serve (alongside a glass of Pimm’s, perhaps!). If

Fire up the BBQ grill
Just like strawberries and cream, a BBQ truly embodies the
spirit of summer. Gather your friends and family for an evening of relaxation
and celebration (with Wimbledon on in the background, of course!). Our summer living range
has everything you need to host a spectacular BBQ. From chunky premium beef
burgers, chicken wings and sausages from Little Pigs Didsbury to fresh seafood
skewers and succulent vegetables, there’s something to grill for every
tastebud.
When hosting a sizzling BBQ, it’s crucial to choose the
right grill, whether it’s a charcoal grill for smoky flavours or a gas grill
for convenience. Make sure to marinate the skewers and fish at least 30 minutes
before they hit the grill – a tangy lemon and herb marinade or umami-packed
miso and ginger marinade is perfect for seafood offerings. And don’t forget the
burger trimmings! Melt cheddar cheese into juicy burgers and top with
caramelized onions and one of Mrs Darlington’s delicious relishes.
