Fresh Starts for 2025!

Simple midweek meals

For many, making a fresh start means taking the stress out of cooking while eating more nutritious meals. With our fresh, healthy kitchen staples, you can make sorting meals for the week a breeze! Consider batch cooking with our fresh ingredients to save time but guarantee flavour during busy weekdays.

Our bestselling fresh Scottish salmon fillets, exclusively selected by our local fishmonger, are a nutritional family favourite and incredibly versatile. Another one of our personal favourites is the 1.8 kg whole chicken from our friendly family butchers, Little Pigs Butchery in Didsbury. Roast it at the start of the week and use the leftovers in sandwiches, soups, stews – or whatever takes your fancy!

If you’re looking for something new to try in the kitchen, why not give some of our delicious recipes, created by local foodie SpamellaB, a go? Alternatively, if you want to take the stress out of cooking altogether, have a look at some of our freshly prepared meals – perfect for families with busy schedules!

Seasonal fruits and vegetables

Embrace the season! Choose seasonal winter vegetables packed with nutrients, sourced locally wherever possible. At the moment, there’s plenty of tasty winter veg in season, such as leeks, white cabbage, apples, and celery – perfect for warming stews and soups. Why not try roasting your winter veggies for a hearty side dish, blending them into a smooth soup for the ultimate comfort food or making a tasty apple crumble?

By eating seasonally, you can also reduce your food miles, as your food isn’t shipped from abroad but instead picked in the UK at the optimal time, meaning it’s fresher and tastier than out-of-season options.

Treats to put a pep in your step

Making healthier choices this year doesn’t mean skimping on your favourite treats! Our snacks are just the right mix of healthy and indulgent. They’re ideal with your morning brew or as a mid-afternoon pick-me-up – the perfect way to stay energised throughout the day. By keeping healthy treats within easy reach, you can also help curb cravings for less nutritious options.

Our tasty fresh fruit, sourced from local markets – such as crispy Royal Gala apples or juicy mangoes – is a deliciously sweet treat. Our smooth and creamy yoghurts are another tasty option, making a great quick snack or healthy breakfast.
