March is not typical salad growing season in the Uk. Over the past year or so, there has been a tangible shift towards taking care of the planet we all call home, whether it concerns single use plastics, disposable coffee cups or food miles. I want to do my little bit too. As a self confessed … [Read more...] about Home grown is best!
Hot fill test – 250cc container
Did you know, our website is jam packed with product information? Nestled under the product picture, you can find out the tech specs, materials, case sizes and pricing options. I was asked if our Clear Round Deli Pot would take a hot fill. The short answer is yes, they do! If you've ever … [Read more...] about Hot fill test – 250cc container
Size Matters (Really, it does)
If I could pass on one single nugget of advice to a new start up, it would be this. More often than not, it's miles easier to adapt the size of the product than the packaging you're putting it in. We receive calls every day enquiring about packaging that's ever so slightly different to something we … [Read more...] about Size Matters (Really, it does)
Tala Oven Roaster
I don't need to be asked twice to roast a chicken, so when I saw this new Oven Roaster, it had to be done. This massive roaster comes with a rack, and at 38 x 32cm x 7.5cm it should take care of the biggest joints. My medium chicken looked rather lost in it, so I threw 6 Pork sausages in there too. … [Read more...] about Tala Oven Roaster
New Telephone System
We are in our quieter time of the selling season at the moment, so taking the opportunity to make a few improvements. Whilst our new web site is still in progress and hopefully launched before things go into full swing, the team have recently been managing the upgrade of our telephone system. … [Read more...] about New Telephone System
Home Made 12″ Pizzas
We love a takeaway pizza, but its January and we're still the wrong side of payday. The last brace of large pizzas cost us over £30, and by the time the driver got lost, found us and finally delivered, they were lukewarm at best. "We'll have a go at making our own - it can't be that hard" One … [Read more...] about Home Made 12″ Pizzas
Tiny Tamper Evident Containers
Just like their larger brothers, our small Tamper Evident Containers are quite happy living in the fridge and freezer. They are BPE free, safe for use in the Microwave and will take a hot fill too. The smallest we have available is 60ml, and this is a perfect size for samples and tasters … [Read more...] about Tiny Tamper Evident Containers
Don’t throw that out (yet!)
I recently threw out a single use plastic take away container after it had been used, washed and re-used 16 times. I know this as I kept a record. (What was that about not taking your work home with you?) Anyway. A bit like those old fashioned £5 notes that got progressively tattier as time went by, … [Read more...] about Don’t throw that out (yet!)
The Natty Tattie
We've got the Peruvians to thank for the humble potato - they first domesticated them about 6000 years ago and the world hasn't looked back since. There are over 1000 different varieties out there, and probably as many ways to do stuff with them. We're going to get proper cheffy today, and thrice … [Read more...] about The Natty Tattie
