Gobi Manchurian is the kind of appetiser that steals the spotlight before the main course even arrives.
Golden, crunchy cauliflower florets—fresh out of the fryer—get swept up in a glossy, tangy-sweet-spicy sauce bursting with soy and fiery chillies. Each bite is a thrilling clash of textures: crisp on the outside, tender within, and loaded with bold, addictive flavour. Crowned with fresh coriander, this Indo-Chinese classic is a go-to favourite in Indian restaurants, the fusion dish everyone orders “just to share”… but secretly wants to keep all to themselves.

On Thursday 18th December we held our annual Christmas Jumper Day celebrations.
From smiling Santas to elfishly cool jumpers, we put on our smiles and knitwear to raise funds for the Great North Air Ambulance.
While the jumpers were light-hearted, the cause behind them is anything but. The Great North Air Ambulance delivers life-saving critical care to people across the North East, North Yorkshire and Cumbria, often in the most challenging circumstances. From roadside emergencies to remote rural incidents, their specialist crews bring hospital-level treatment directly to those who need it most — sometimes making the difference between life and death.
Christmas has a habit of arriving faster than anyone expects. One minute it’s early December, the next the warehouse is buzzing!
As the festive season approaches, take a moment to check our schedule, mark those key dates, and get ahead of the rush. A little planning now means one less thing to worry about later — and more time to focus on serving your customers this Christmas.
If you have any questions about deliveries or ordering deadlines, our team is always happy to help.
