How Ben buys it
The staples, every drop
Potatoes, onions and carrots sit on most standing orders. Keep them there and only send Ben the changes.
British through the seasons
Asparagus in late spring, courgettes and beans through summer, roots and brassicas through the winter. See the seasonal calendar for the months.
Size and grade
Tell Ben the size you prep to, such as baking potatoes or small new potatoes for roasting, and it goes on your account.
Questions
Do you supply prepared vegetables?
Ask Ben. The range on this page is whole produce. If you need peeled, cut or diced lines, tell him what you use and he will tell you what he can do.
Can I order by the kilo rather than the sack?
Tell Ben the pack sizes you are used to, by the kilo, case or sack, and he will match them where the market allows.
Talk to Ben
Tell us what you use, how often and where you are. You will hear back from Ben himself.
