A Local Favourite, Grown with the Seasons
Some ingredients are deeply connected to the place they come from, and Pembrokeshire potatoes are a true example of this. Known for their exceptional quality and distinctive flavour, they have become a staple of our local food heritage. At Blas, we celebrate this much-loved ingredient by working with local suppliers throughout the year, selecting seasonal varieties that allow our chefs to create thoughtful accompaniments that complement our menus.
A Pembrokeshire Staple
Few ingredients are more closely associated with Pembrokeshire than its potatoes. Grown in the county’s rich, fertile soil and shaped by its mild coastal climate, they have earned a reputation for exceptional flavour and quality. Rather than relying on a single grower, we work with a range of trusted local suppliers throughout the year, allowing us to showcase the very best varieties each season has to offer while supporting Pembrokeshire’s farming community.
Harvested with the Seasons
From early new potatoes in spring to heartier heritage varieties later in the year, the potatoes we use change with the harvest. Each variety brings its own character, whether it’s a buttery texture, earthy flavour or crisp finish. By following the seasons, we can select the potatoes that are at their best, ensuring every serving reflects the time of year and the quality of the local harvest.
A Seasonal Accompaniment
Our potatoes feature as one of the carefully considered sides on our lunch and dinner menus. Prepared using seasonal ingredients and flavours, they evolve throughout the year to complement our dishes. You may find them paired with wild garlic in spring, fresh herbs through the summer or richer accompaniments as the seasons change. While the recipe may vary, our focus remains the same: celebrating one of Pembrokeshire’s most iconic ingredients with simplicity, care and plenty of flavour.
