'World first' for Weetons of Harrogate as it reacts to UK's craze for pickles with unique new hamper
“Unusual as it may seem, Britain is currently in the middle of a pickle boom”
Popular Harrogate food hall Weetons has launched what it believes to be the world's first Pickle Christmas Hamper.
Unusual as it may seem, Britain is currently in the middle of a pickle boom.
Pickle everything has taken over social media feeds, pickle martinis have landed on cocktail menus, and the trend has spilled into fast food, supermarket aisles, and even sold-out pickle festivals
Harrogate luxury food hall Weetons’ limited edition gift is filled with every pickle related produce you could need, from crunchy cucumbers and tangy pickled onions to pickle seasonings and gourmet pickle crisps.
Liam Gill, director at Weetons, said: "Pickles have certainly been the snack of the year, from pickle-topped everything on social media to pickle martinis at the bar, so we wanted to create a Christmas gift that is gloriously, unapologetically pickle-packed. “
The Weetons Pickle Christmas Hamper is priced at £95.00 and is a limited edition item available exclusively at Weetons.
Presented in a classic 16-inch Weetons wicker hamper, the glorious Pickle Christmas Hamper brings together eight pickle-packed treats, plus one very festive guest.
Liam Gill said: “Our new hamper is made for the pickle obsessives, the adventurous foodies and those impossible to buy for people on your list.
“It really is one Christmas gift they'll never see coming. Dare we say it, it's kind of a big dill!"
Established in 2005 by a group of local farmers, Weetons stores can be found at Leeds Road and West Park in Harrogate.
The independent business remains true to its founding mission: to champion provenance, quality and community engagement by offering the very best of Yorkshire and British produce in welcoming spaces that bring people together.
