You only have to ask as we do anything with any variety of potatoes (but we don’t really do chips).

Carrots (Back)

Until the Middle Ages strangely always purple. We like roasting the orange ones in all sizes and have invented a Moroccan Carrot and Orange Chutney that we think makes a mean sandwich. Tell us what you think.

Sweet Potato (Back)

Have a distinctive sugary and spicy flavour that are a stalwart to many savoury dishes and are just fantastic roasted in salads. There are two types; cream and orange. The orange has a higher nutritional content because of its beta carotene – both are high in Vitamin C and potassium.

Celeriac (Back)

Knobbly with a patchy brown skin (we throw that bit away) this has a subtle less pronounced flavour than celery. Grated and eaten raw in salads or sandwiches it has a great crunch, cooked it is more akin to potatoes.

Parsnips (Back)

We roast these on their own or with other lovely root veg things. They are delicious in a turkey sandwich at Christmas with a bit of sage and onion stuffing.

Turnips (Back)

Happen to be a fully paid up member of the Cabbage family. With a distinct peppery flavour they are wonderful thinly sliced in a salad or steamed.

Swede (Back)

Earthy, full bodied and sweeter than it’s turnip cousin they are very good steamed, roasted, or, mashed with quite a lot of butter and black pepper.

Beetroot (Red & Golden) (Back)

Their fate is no longer only to be pickled these are now rightfully very fashionable. Roasted hot or cold they are something else. Even better is our unique Golden Beetroot Chutney (a more intense flavour and no colour bleeding) which makes a Cheddar Cheese sandwich that is out of this world.
