Direct Meats and British Farmers, ‘Britain at its Best’

At Essex Larders we hand make pies, pasties, quiches, steamed puddings, tarts & cheesecakes – those wonderful comfort foods – all produced by hand on our fruit farm in the heart of the Essex countryside.

We have been making our hand made pies (using local ingredients) since 1980 and now they are so popular we sell them throughout London & East Anglia in food halls (Fortnum & Masons, and Partridges of Sloane St), delicatessens, farm shops, butchers, pubs, tea rooms.

The secret of our success is our commitment to making life easy by producing a high quality product and delivering it straight to your door, giving you something unique and delicious to offer your customers – with minimum fuss.

We make Christmas Puddings with Brandy and local ale.

Richard Hawards Oysters

The Haward family have been growing oysters in the shallow creeks to the west of Mersea Island since at least 1792, when William Haward sailed with his oysters to Billingsgate Market; for at least 100 years, they have nurtured the same fleet of Salcott Fleet.

As seventh generation oysterman, from a black shed – formerly used for packing oysters – Richard Haward Oysters has evolved over the last 20 years to now, as both a fish shop to enjoy a large range of shellfish and smoked fish to eat there.

Oysters are cleaned and prepared at the back of ‘The Shed’ both for sale and distribution throughout the UK and Europe.
