About Calder's Kitchen

Calder's Kitchen began after the discovery of our founder, Andrew's Grandad Charlie's favourite traditional Piccalilli recipe. Charlie used to grow is own vegetables from his back garden in South Shields, Tyne & Wear. We can remember Granddad using his own beetroots, growing his tomatoes and making large jars of Piccalilli at the end of summer. 2023 is a very special year for all of us here at Calder's Kitchen as we mark what would have been Charlie's 100th year (b. 16.02.1923) We started the business after amazing feedback from the public about our Piccalilli - a throw back to other people's favourite family recipes, at first attending farmers markets and other small events, We now supply shops, cafe's restaurants, garden centres and pubs with our 285g retail jars and now catering sized jars (2.3kg). Calder's Kitchen have won Great Taste Awards for all three of our Pickles, in 2021 our Traditional Piccalilli became a Great British Food & Drink 'Highly Commended' product with three other flavours making the finals. In August 2022 our Spicy Tomato Chutney was awarded a Guild of Fine Food Great Taste 2-Star rating. All of our pickles and chutneys are not only bursting with fresh flavour, but they are Gluten Free and Vegan-Friendly. We are happy to provide free samples for any prospective customer to try on request.
