Grow your own Cheshire new potatoes!

Pre-order now – free local delivery, or collect from Ashton Hayes, in late January 2027, just in time for chitting.

'Ulster Sceptre' is the variety many Cheshire growers know simply as the "Cheshire potato": the classic early new potato from our local fields. It's a reliable first early with tasty, waxy new potatoes, perfect boiled with butter and mint in early summer. Great in the ground, in grow bags or in big pots.

• 2kg net, about 20–25 seed potatoes, in the grower's original sealed and labelled bag
• First early: plant March–April, lift about 10–12 weeks later
• Chit (sprout) on a cool, bright windowsill for 4–6 weeks before planting
