What is Cherries?

Served fresh on desserts and cheeseboards, baked into clafoutis and tarts, or made into compotes and sauces for duck and game.

Cherries wholesale price in the UK

As of April 27, 2026, the wholesale quote for cherries in the UK market is about £20.16. Over the past 12 months it's ranged from £10.08 to £20.16, with a typical week landing around £14.56.

It's sitting above its 12-month average this week, so if it's a staple, build a little cushion into your menu price.

What's behind the price

UK produce moves through the wholesale markets — New Covent Garden and the regional markets — fed by British growers in season and by Spanish, Dutch and other imports out of season. That's why a case rate on cherries can shift week to week.

The yearlong trend has been easing (up about 38% over the last month). Buying what's in season is still the most reliable way to keep produce cost in check.

Seasonality in the UK

British cherries are in season roughly late June to August; imported (often from Spain or further afield) at other times.

Per case or per kilo?

Produce is sold by the case, with a per-kilo rate shown where it helps you compare. Order on the unit that matches your prep so you're not throwing money out on shrink — perishables don't wait.

Highly perishable and price-sensitive; buy during the UK summer flush for best value per kg. Look for firm fruit with fresh green stalks and no splits.
