2. Eyes on this pie

Our Best Ever Pork Pie is crafted using carefully selected cuts of outdoor-bred pork shoulder and diced silverside, with a rich roasted pork stock jelly and encased in a golden, hand-crimped hot water crust pastry. Made to a traditional Melton Mowbray recipe, it boasts an impressive 50% pork content – making it one of the most generously filled pies around and truly exceptional in flavour. But don’t just take our word for it – it was recently awarded two trophies at this year’s British Pie Awards.

7. Major toms

We’re the home of Isle of Wight tomatoes – grown in a unique microclimate with longer sunshine hours, making them taste as sweet as they look. Discover a range of top toms in store, including our Isle of Wight Summer Tomatoes Selection, umami-rich Collection Pink Oishi Tomatoes and Isle of Wight Tiger Tomatoes. Best enjoyed at room temperature to bring out their natural sweetness, these seasonal stars are just as good straight from the pack as they are in vibrant summer salads, on toast with anchovies and garlic, or pasta dishes.
