In Season: Spilman Farm Asparagus
There’s something undeniably special about the arrival of British asparagus season—a moment that marks the true beginning of spring in our kitchen. For us, it’s all about the beautiful green spears from Spilman Farm in Thirsk, just a short drive away. Each year, we eagerly anticipate their first harvest. The freshness, the colour, the unmistakable flavour—it’s a seasonal highlight that never disappoints. When ingredients are grown so close to home, there’s a connection that deepens the entire cooking and dining experience.
Cut fresh each morning, Spilman’s asparagus is the epitome of seasonal produce at its best: sweet, tender, and packed with flavour. It doesn’t need much to shine—char it lightly on the grill, steam it with a knob of butter, or plate it simply with a poached egg and silky hollandaise. It’s versatile but never boring, and always feels like a treat. We believe in letting ingredients speak for themselves, and with something this good, less really is more.
At the heart of it all is a local farm family who care deeply about what they grow. The Spilmans have been cultivating the land for generations, and their commitment to quality is evident in every bunch they deliver. Supporting local producers like them is central to what we do—because food tastes better when it’s grown with pride and served in season. It’s this ethos that shapes everything from our spring menus to our supper clubs and private dinners.
Catch it while it’s in its short but glorious season. You’ll find it featured in our spring menus, supper clubs, and private dinners.
