Treviso radicchio is a showstopper on any plate. Long, tapered heads with deep burgundy leaves and crisp white ribs, delivering a clean, sweet-bitter bite that mellows beautifully with heat. Halve and char it on the grill with olive oil and sea salt, roast it until the edges crisp, or braise it slowly into risotto. It loves rich, creamy partners like gorgonzola, burrata and walnuts, plus a sharp hit of balsamic or blood orange. Colour, texture and flavour on one plate, with very little effort.

This week’s wild mushrooms are in from our sister business Mushroom Man. European girolles are in good supply, grey chanterelles and pied de mouton are both looking great, and trompettes have just come into season. Autumn truffle is still available too. Ceps are very limited from Europe and South Africa, so get your order in early to secure yours.

Puntarelle is one of the most distinctive ingredients in the Italian kitchen. These tender, hollow chicory shoots are crisp and cooling, with a gentle bitterness and a nutty finish. Trim and slice them into thin strips, then plunge into iced water and watch them curl into beautiful ringlets. Dress them the Roman way with anchovy, garlic, lemon and good olive oil for a salad with real punch, or serve alongside rich meats, shellfish and bold, salty flavours. Easy to prep, striking on the plate and unlike anything else on the menu.

Oily is now available at Rushton’s 🫒🫒🫒
Proper, cold-pressed Greek olive oil from the Peloponnese, with a bold flavour and a label to match. We’re stocking three ways to pour: the easy-pour squeezy bottle built for busy kitchen service, the organic glass bottle made for the table, and the 5 litre tin for volume. Oily has also won two stars at Great Taste 2026.

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.
