FIELD VEGETABLES

On Splattenridden we grow a variety of field vegetables, Asparagus, Cauliflower, and potatoes for Burts Chips.

35 Varieties of Winter Cauliflower

We grow over 250 acres of Winter Cauliflower. The soils in west Cornwall are rich in organic matter and hold moisture which is ideal for uninterrupted growth through the winter months.

The crop is then supplied to Peloton Produce – and retails in supermarkets throughout the UK.

Splattenridden Work Force

We employ a multinational workforce. This is one of our planting teams, this group of skilled chaps come from across Europe and Asia, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan and as far afield as St Buryan. It’s amazing to think that 2 of them who are from Kyrgyzstan live less than 30 miles from the border with China! Now that’s some distance for work!

Potatoes

Over 3500 tons of Lady Rosetta Potato are harvested at Splattenridden. A specialist crisping potato that has an early crop maturity to support fresh crisp production.

Our Crisping potatoes are grown for Burts Chips. For maximum freshness, our potatoes are washed, loaded into lorries, and made into crisps within 24hrs.

Burts Crisps

Burts Crisps are based in South Devon. They pride themselves in sustainably sourcing their raw materials locally and you will always know if you are eating crisps cooked with Splattenridden potatoes, just look on the back of the packet… if it says Grower: Charles Richards, you know you’ve got the good ones… This Spicy Sweet Chilli version is grown with Chillies from a farm in South Devon
