Trompette, chanterelle and pied de mouton enter their final couple of weeks from the US. We are having a look at a fresh flush of girolles from Portugal next week. I am not hopeful. The bonkers Bulgarian microclimate never ceases to amaze me. Most years the delightful aniseed scented mousseron and mealy St George mushrooms appear just in time for St George’s day at month's end. My contact on the ground has started to harvest. We now play the availability/price waiting game until it’s right to jump in. 
Spring white truffles still strong. We will be using our little air-freighted poly-box to have another look at how mature the Summer truffles are next week. You never know. If they are white and have no nose I’ll use them for cricket practice. 
We offer a fantastic product and service between us and our all Italian manufacturers. From lanky linguine to tremendous pumpkin tortellini, and not forgetting knobbly walnut and gorgonzola gnocchi. A high end, affordable, labour saving, modern & delicious option for busy chef’s.The Staff Canteen team are taking a different approach to keeping our website independent and delivering content free from commercial influence.
