Macknade Fine Foods started life as 'Fir Tree Farm', a tent in 20 hectares of 'Pick Your Own' crops!

Unique in so many ways, strong Kentish heritage blending beautifully with rich Italian traditions, the business flourished with people experiencing then exotic flora such as mange tout, courgette flowers and yellow & purple raspberries for the very first time.

Over quarter of a century on, Macknade Fine Foods has kept true to its cosmopolitan conception, growing and blossoming as a centre for not only the highest quality fresh produce, but for global fine foods as a whole.

Macknade's evolution has seen it grow from a traditional farm in the heart of the Garden of England, to a buzzing marketplace full of daily favourites, old friends who've eluded you for years, and a breath-taking range of foods and drinks with names as intriguing as their appearances.

Frequent visits to London's Covent Garden market give us access to a huge variety of fruit and vegetables. Freshly baked bread and pastries are always available, and complement perfectly the array of meats and cheeses in our delicatessen.

Fine English and European wines, extra virgin olive oils, freshly squeezed orange juice (we squeeze it ourselves in-store!), hand-made Belgian chocolates, coffees, teas, biscuits, fresh cakes .... the list seems endless!

We have an extensive range of artisan products, ranging from speciality dried pastas to hand cooked potato, fruit and vegetable chips and the more esoteric items such as smoked oysters and sarsaparilla.

Wherever possible local producers are used - from apples, strawberries and potatoes to beers, wines, jams and ice creams, you'll find the very best Kent, and Britain as a whole, have to offer.

We cater for every taste and for every occasion, from the conservative to the extravagantly exotic. Wherever your culinary adventure may take you be it Italy or Japan, Mexico or Morocco, we'll have what you want ... and if not, we will endeavour to find it!
