Fragrant, floral and distinctly aromatic, bergamot brings a citrus character quite unlike a standard lemon or orange, best known for flavouring Earl Grey tea. Its zest carries incredible perfume, brilliant grated into desserts, syrups or cocktails, while the juice brings sharp acidity to dressings and marinades. A genuinely distinctive citrus that adds real sophistication to a menu.

Small, sweet and delicately flavoured, piccolo parsnips bring all the classic parsnip character in a neat, bite sized package. Their tender flesh roasts beautifully whole, caramelising at the edges for a lovely concentrated sweetness, and they're just as happy mashed or added whole to a root vegetable tray bake. A charming little addition to any autumn menu.

Dark green, squat and distinctly ridged, Delica squash brings dense, deep orange flesh with an exceptionally sweet, almost chestnut like flavour once roasted. Its skin softens enough with cooking to be eaten too, making it brilliant roasted in wedges with nothing more than oil and seasoning. A proper autumn favourite, prized by chefs for its rich, consistent sweetness.

This week's wild mushrooms are now available at Rushton's, from our sister business, Mushroom Man.

Swipe to see what's looking very good: European girolles, yellow and grey chanterelles, pied de mouton and South African ceps are all in great condition. European ceps remain very scarce and are only available sliced, and we still have autumn truffle and lobster mushrooms, though the lobster season is coming to an end.

The first frosts signal we are towards the end of the Scottish girolle season, but we should have availability for another week. Order while stocks last.

Order via Fresho, call us on +44 (0) 2076 228870, email [email protected] or message us on WhatsApp (message only) on +44 (0) 7513 366235.

New season Spanish kaki fruit is available now at Rushton's.

The first of the season are looking beautiful: glossy, deep orange and ripe with that sweet, honeyed flavour kaki are known for. Their soft, silky flesh tastes of apricot, vanilla and a little cinnamon, which makes them a lovely autumn fruit to work with.

Slice them onto fruit plates and cheese boards, add them to salads with bitter leaves and a sharp dressing, or use the ripe pulp in puddings, ice creams and sauces for something a little different on the pastry section.

At the launch we saw chef-ready pates, smoked chicken, smoked duck and confit chicken among the best sellers. Consistency is everything, and it showed in every bite.

Turkish figs bring deep purple skin and a lush, richly sweet interior with that classic honeyed, jammy flavour figs are loved for. Their delicate flesh needs gentle handling but rewards with real depth, whether served simply halved with good cheese, wrapped in prosciutto, or roasted to intensify the sweetness further. A proper seasonal luxury that always draws attention on a menu.

Speak to the team to get these in.

The Osteen variety brings deep red purple skin and dense, fibre free flesh with a rich, tropical sweetness that holds its shape beautifully when sliced. Their firm texture makes them brilliant for precise cutting, whether fanned out for a dessert plate or diced through a fresh salsa. A proper premium mango variety worth showcasing by name.

Speak to us to get these on your menu.

MEET OUR PARTNER BRAND: SMOKIN' BROTHERS
Cotswolds

Founded by three Italian friends, Vincenzo, Alessandro and Iacopo, Smokin' Brothers became obsessed with crafting the finest smoked salmon imaginable after an unlikely encounter with a Norwegian master smoker. Their salmon is sourced exclusively from a small-scale farm in the remote Scottish Highlands of Wester Ross, raised for three generations without antibiotics, chemicals or GMOs, and cold-smoked for 24 hours over a bespoke blend of juniper, beech and oak.

Kata gave us the story behind the brand at the launch, working from Daylesford Organic Farm in the Cotswolds. We tried three, wh***ey and soy, traditional, and their smoked trout. Beyond the ordinary, every time.
