More March Hares

March Hare Foods have added some new dishes to their range. They proved irresistible and we have now added them to the collection available from our freezer. The new range includes more complete meals - a hot pot, a bake and a pie all topped with potatoes/root veg. So now you don't have to cook the potatoes yourself and because they contain a bit less meat they are cheaper.

March Hare Foods was created by Colin and Julia; a busy working couple who ate a lot of ready meals. With a young family they had a niggling guilt about convenience food, and the added stabilisers and preservatives they contained. They set about finding great-tasting ingredients and cooking them in a traditional way. They use only wild or free-range meat and fish, sourced from small-scale producers. Essentially the meals are cooked as you would at home, just on a larger scale.

We now carry 15 dishes from March Hare Foods, and they are proving very popular, especially now the evenings are feeling shorter.

March Hare Food

After much searching and tasting, we have decided to sell the frozen meals made by Julia and Colin Whitham of March Hare Foods in County Durham. By freezing the food, they don't need to pack it full of preservatives. The meals can even be cooked straight from frozen (30 minutes in an oven, 8 in a microwave). Every meal we tried tasted great and was quick and easy to cook. Most of the meals are generous single portions which (depending on the meal) can be served with potatoes, rice, cous cous or one of the delicious March Hare accompaniments such as colcannon or sherried lentils. Some of the meals are complete as they are: Salmon Laksa which comes with noodles, or Mushroom & Spinach Lasagne. They were just what we were looking for.
