  1. Welcome to the new Signature Collection

    Food you can really taste Customers contact us all the time on a wide variety of issues. The biggest feedback by far is customers saying how much they enjoy our food, and that it’s just like ‘home cooking’. Your feedback has encouraged our chefs to create the basis for our new ‘Signature collection’ of dishes. The concept behind the range is meals without compromise.

  2. Celebrate the Queen's Diamond Jubilee

    Over the years Oakhouse have celebrated events around the UK in all sorts of ways - most recently with beautiful mugs to celebrate the wedding of William & Kate.

Barnardo’s run over 800 UK projects that transform the lives of more than 190,000 children and young people every year and they need regular donations to fund this fantastic work.

Whilst imported asparagus can be found on supermarket shelves year-round, it’s the native crop that really gets us excited, and British asparagus's short-lived season, spanning just six to eight weeks, makes it the most eagerly awaited springtime food. However, after an unusually wet March and cool April it means that this year there is even more of a demand!

  5. The Great British Cuppa

    Tea loses its youth appeal The great British cuppa could be a dying tradition as just 4% of tea drinkers are under 25’s, according to the Independent online. The newspaper reports the findings of a survey carried out amongst the British public, which found that 8 out of 10 of us Brits rely on a cup of tea to get us through the day but that more than 50% of tea drinkers were over the age of 45. Apparently 3.5 billion cups of tea are drunk each year in the workplace too but at Oakhouse Foods we think there’s nothing better than a good cuppa so we won’t be giving ours up any time soon!
