Late in September 2010 we were delighted to move from supplying Asda at a regional level to supplying nationally.

After a very busy Christmas and a much earned rest (phew!) we were back to work earlier in January, and are already delivering more stock into Asda to ensure that our products are on the shelves ready for you to buy and enjoy!

Under our Bromley’s Pickle Company label, Asda currently stock Sticky Onion Chutney, Classic Apple Chutney, Spiced Peach Chutney, and Tomato & Chilli Jam and they are going very well indeed.

So much so that in May we will be launching a range of four jams under our Bromley’s Pickle Company label into Asda stores in the East of England.

We do hope that you enjoy our products, and don’t forget that they are available in a range of supermarkets and independent retailers alike!

Well its that time of year again when its cold,damp and just miserable outside and why on earth would anyone want to go out in it?

Here at Vineyard Fine Foods its business as usual. Orders are flowing nicely into Asda, Sainsbury’s, Tesco, the Co-Op and our other customers. The production areas are being redecorated and cleaned this week, and we are busy putting together our proposals for Christmas and meeting new customers and our existing customers to see how best we can work together this year.

There is always something profoundly unpleasant about talking price for cranberries in February, but that’s just the way it is I guess.

Some new products that we’re working on are a range of marinades that we will be launching for the barbecue season including a beer marinade and mango and chilli. We’re really excited about these, more information to follow when they are ready.

We are also redesigning the Bromley’s Pickle Company label and that will be out in the shops soon. we’ll let you know when and we will post images on the website when that happens.

There are several other projects that we are working on and when they are ready we will let you know.

So there is plenty going on here at Vineyard Fine Foods and we are looking forward to an exciting year ahead.

Well its a warm,sunny Friday afternoon and here we are beavering away making our new range of jams and marmalades to launch into Asda in the East of England mid-August!

Under our Bromley’s Pickle Company label, we have Strawberry Jam, Raspberry Jam, Apricot Jam, Very Berry Jam(raspberries,strawberries and blueberries), Orange Marmalade, Orange & Lemon Marmalade, Orange and Whisky Marmalade, and Plum Gumbo(plum preserve).

All in a 200g jar and retailing under £2.00 per jar, we have created this delicious range to compliment our already successful range of chutneys under our Bromley’s label.

So if you fancy something a bit better than the ordinary pop along to your local Asda in the East of England and pick up a jar or two!!
