May 2026

Red Cherries

Sweet, juicy and only around for a short time each year, red cherries are one of summer's greatest pleasures. Bursting with flavour and rich in colour, they're perfect for snacking straight from the punnet, sharing with friends or adding to seasonal desserts. Their brief season makes them all the more worth savouring while they're at their best.

Pairing: Enjoy alongside creamy Greek yoghurt for an easy breakfast, serve with dark chocolate after dinner, or add to a cheeseboard with a soft goat's cheese or Brie. They also pair beautifully with almonds, pistachios and a chilled glass of sparkling wine on a warm summer evening.

Arabica Handmade Pita

A staple of any good sharing table, Arabica's handmade pita are soft, pillowy and made for dipping, scooping and tearing.

Pairing: Pair with your favourite hummus, fill with grilled vegetables or serve alongside a mezze spread for an easy supper that feels a little more special.

Six Pan du Poitou

A fresh French goat's cheese with a smooth, creamy texture and subtle citrusy tang. Produced in the Poitou region. Light, elegant and endlessly versatile.

Origin: France

Pairing: Equally at home on a summer cheeseboard, crumbled over roasted vegetables or enjoyed simply with a slice of good bread.

Wild Garlic La Bouse

A soft, creamy cheese infused with wild garlic, offering a delicate, herby flavour with gentle savoury notes and a smooth, spreadable texture, perfect for simple, flavourful dishes.

Origin: Switzerland

Pairing: Warm crusty bread or crackers, as well as fresh salads and roasted vegetables. It also works nicely alongside new potatoes or as part of a light cheese board with fruit and chutney.

Crab & Prawn Tortelloni

Delicate pasta parcels filled with a rich blend of crab and prawn, offering a sweet, delicate seafood flavour with a light, tender texture.

Pairing: Light sauces such as lemon butter, white wine or a gentle cream sauce. It also works nicely with fresh herbs, wilted spinach, or a simple side salad to keep the flavours fresh and balanced.

Bayley & Sage Gazpacho

Our take on the classic Spanish soup is packed with ripe tomatoes and fresh vegetables, blended to create a smooth, vibrant gazpacho that's full of sunshine. Served straight from the fridge, it's a wonderfully refreshing option for warm days and an effortless addition to summer lunches and outdoor dining.

Pairing: Serve alongside crusty sourdough and a wedge of Manchego for a simple Spanish-inspired lunch, or enjoy with slices of jamón, marinated olives and salted almonds as part of a relaxed sharing spread. For something more substantial, pair with grilled prawns, fresh burrata or a tomato salad dressed with good olive oil. A chilled glass of Verdejo or Provence rosé makes a natural companion.

Gewürztraminer

A wonderfully expressive white wine, this Austrian Gewürztraminer is bursting with fragrant aromas of rose petals, lychee and exotic spice. Rich and aromatic yet beautifully balanced, it offers layers of ripe stone fruit and floral character, making every glass feel a little bit special. An ideal choice for those who enjoy wines with plenty of personality.

Origin: Austria

Pairing: Gewürztraminer's aromatic style makes it a natural match for bold flavours. Try it with Thai curries, fragrant Middle Eastern dishes or spicy Asian cuisine, where its gentle sweetness helps balance the heat. Closer to home, it pairs beautifully with soft washed-rind cheeses, pâté, smoked duck or a summer cheeseboard enjoyed in the garden.

Peonies

Few flowers capture the arrival of early summer quite like peonies. With their generous blooms, delicate fragrance and layers of soft petals, they're a favourite for brightening dining tables, hallways and kitchen counters alike. Whether displayed as a simple bunch or mixed with seasonal foliage, peonies bring effortless elegance to any room.
