On the 23rd April we celebrate England’s Patron Saint on St George’s Day. This date is synonymous with the start of the English asparagus season. This year we will be supplied once again by local farmer David Bradley of Selson Farm, Eastry. We take pride in supporting local suppliers and with produce direct from the farm, our customers get good value too. Make sure you get your fill of this fresh and tasty seasonal veg, traditionally only available until 21st June.
