BIG NEWS! CRANSTON PICKLES - PICKLE WORKSHOPS! We have been asked for quite some time if we teach pickle workshops - and it is finally happening!! We are throwing our first pickle workshop this month ON THURSDAY 20 FEB !! They will be at @tapsocialmarkettap in the covered market and run on a monthly basis - the third Thursday of each month! A super casual, fun + informative 2 hours class where I will teach you how to pickle with vinegar! 7 - 9 PM ✌🏼Tickets include a drink from Tap’s bar, learning how to make three types of vinegar based pickles, recipes to take home and a little spread at the end of the class to enjoy together! All produce will be locally sourced from @bonnersoxford in the covered market - and will reflect the seasons, in our usual Cranston Pickles style! I am super excited for this new venture (and a little nervous of course!) but it’s going to be a fun couple of hours learning all things pickles! Go to our pickle shop for more information + to grab your tickets - link in bio ✌🏼Hope to see you all there and assist you in getting your pickle on 🤗Fiona 💛 by @cranstonpickles

Hello you lovely pickles! I hope you have had a pickliscious Christmas - full of joy, and pickled eggs. I just wanted to say a huge pickliscious thank you for another fabulous pickley year around the sun! Thank you to everyone who has supported my little pickle business this year and beyond - running a small business is really hard work day-to-day but you pickles all make it worth it! It means a lot to this little pickle - anyone who reads our weekly pickled newsletter, shares us with pals, comes along to a workshop or supperclub, or enjoys one of our pickles from time to time! THANK YOU! What a year 2025 has been - a very memorable one for sure. We started teaching our pickle workshops! We served up canapés for some specials weddings and events - and have some booked for in for next year too! Alongside all our regular events, supperclubs and a few new pickley creations here and there. I would like to take this opportunity to thank @tapsocialmovement - for being endlessly supportive over the years but particularly this one. Having us in all their lovely venues - you guys are legends 💛 We will be back in January ready for our Pickle workshop - but for now we will be having some time out of the pickle kitchen with family and friends. It was a very busy festive season which I am very grateful for - but this pickle is taking a little break until then. All orders will go out beginning of January. And of course we will be making our annual donation - each order on our Pickle shop we donate a tree to @onetreeplanted to help with global reforestation - so if you have grabbed a ticket to one of our events, or a jar - thank you! Here’s to another fabulous year sweetie - thanks for pickling along with us! Happy New Year you lovely pickles. Fiona XX 💛💛 by @cranstonpickles

SEASONAL SUPPERCLUB // SUMMER SUPPERCLUB SERIES. August // Dish Two : Miso butter leek + potato gyoza with cheese custard, Jalapeño jam + house chilli oil.Produce sourced locally from @ampersanddairy @oxfordcheeseco @rectoryfarmpyo @fourseasonsfruiterers @pickle_and_lime (RIP💔) @cornishseaweed + Seoul plaza ✌🏼This dish was something I had dreamt up for a while - so to see it finally on the plate together was super special (and delicious). I meant what’s not to like - handmade gyoza (we make the skins and all using @atsukoskitchen method always 🫶🏼) using the classic combo of leek and potato - but with a Cranston Pickles spin on it using pickled ginger, miso butter, garlic, house chilli oil + seaweed flakes. Dumplings and a cheese custard? That’s what dreams are made of if you ask me. This is also a great example of a dish not being super pickley - for this dish we used our Jalapeño sweet chilli jam which is super versatile and made the perfect glistening pool in the centre 💛We have our seasonal supperclub @proofsocialbakehouse this Friday! We have a few tickets left on our pickle shop - we have also had a couple of cancellations so come along and fill the spots on our final supperclub of the year! You will be fed tasty seasonal dishes all night - and even get a fizz with seasonal pickle in on arrival to get the pickle party started. Go go pickle go!! Let’s end the year with a Pickliscious bang 🥚💥📸 @willelsom 💛✌🏼 by @cranstonpickles

PICKLED EGGS 🥚💛For those who don’t already know - pickled eggs are the reason Cranston Pickles started. I have grown up with them gracing our festive family table since I can remember - due to my grandparents making them every year. Pickled eggs were part of our festive family tradition and my lovely pickliscious grandparents would only make them at Christmas - but one time after a phone call saying how much I missed pickled eggs and couldn’t find any (when I was living in London) I came home to find that they had made me a jar in SPRING. They then taught me how to do it and after me testing different recipes on my house mates - Cranston Pickles had begun. My gramps also used to tell us about how you would always have a pickled eggs and a packet of crisps with your pint at the pub - if you ever see a jar on the bar GRAB ONE! It’s the best bar snack about.Thank you for the pickled eggs orders so far this festive season! It is the pickle that makes me the most happy to know they are on your family table this Christmas - and maybe even part of a new festive tradition too 🥹🥹It’s the final week of pickled egg orders - ALL PICKLED EGG ORDERS MUST BE IN BY THIS WEEKEND! You can order Classic, balsamic or curried and they can be either delivered or collected from one of our markets in December ✌🏼6th DECEMBER - GO GO PICKLE GO! And fill my heart with much nostalgic eggy joy 💛💛💛💛 by @cranstonpickles

STREET FOOD SUPPERCLUB MARCH 25 - CRANSTON PICKLES X TAP SOCIAL @tapsocialtaproom ✌🏼We have our next street food supperclub coming up soon! And we are quite behind on sharing all our supperclubs we did last year - and all the beautiful photography from @willelsom !!This was the second in our street food supperclubs - from our summer supperclub series! AUGUST EDITION. Which has then continued on a monthly basis since 🥹Produce locally from @mayfieldfreerangeeggs @fourseasonsfruiterers Seoul Plaza @pickle_and_lime (RIP💔) @cornishseaweed + @maldonsalt - was also thrilled to have some of the produce from my very own garden! 🥹We started with a kedgeree scotch egg, then Okonomiyaki for main + this stunner of a pudding to finish! So I thought I would make it the pickled star of the show for this post. FIG LEAF PANNA COTTA. Fig leaf milk jam. Pickled blackberry. Sea salt. I discovered fig leaves last summer and found a lovely local tree whose owners were happy for me to pick as many as I needed. What an amazing ingredient - safe to say I got a little obsessed. And milk jam?? Also obsessed.There are still tickets left for our March street food supperclub - go go pickle go!£27 for 3 courses of creative street food style dishes using locally sourced + seasonal produce. Treat yourself to a feast to celebrate the teasing of Spring we have been having lately! Would love to see your pickliscious faces there 💛💛 by @cranstonpickles
