That's our recipe for great food. Harbour & Jones has always championed using local producers and eating food in season, when it is at its best. We know that British farmers and growers offer some incredible produce; whether that is top quality, high welfare meat, sustainably caught fish or sparklingly fresh fruit and vegetables, so why look elsewhere?

Seasonal Products - Jersey Royal Potatoes

These are the earliest potatoes to be harvested in the UK each year, capitalising on Jersey’s sunny springs and mild winters. Jersey Royals have been grown on the island for over 130 years and are Jersey’s third largest industry. They are waxy, thin skinned, kidney-shaped potatoes, renowned for their sweet earthy flavour which is enhanced by the use of local seaweed as a fertilizer on the land.

Seasonal Recipe - Potato, Watercress & Herb Salad with Quails’ Eggs

Whisk the dressing ingredients together.
Cook the new potatoes in salted water until tender, drain, add the spring onions and pour over the dressing whilst the potatoes are still warm. Put the quails’ eggs into a pan of cold water, bring to the boil and cook for 2 minutes. Plunge them into cold water, peel and halve.
Gently mix the herbs and watercress into the potatoes in a salad bowl and scatter over the eggs.

Food Facts

A whole lot of truffle

White truffles are the most expensive fungi on the planet, which means that discerning (and very wealthy) gourmets have no qualms about spending fairly large amounts of cash on them.

In 2007, for example, a white truffle weighing a mind-boggling 3.3 lbs was sold at auction in Hong Kong for a record-breaking $330,000. Perhaps that explains why thousands of pigs spend their lives rooting around in the soil looking for them. And we thought they were just hungry!
