Marrows

What is Marrows?

Marrows are large, mature courgettes with a mild flavour and watery flesh, traditional in British kitchen gardens.

British kitchens stuff and bake them, or use them in chutneys, soups and gratins where their soft texture suits long cooking.

Marrows wholesale price in the UK

As of April 27, 2026, the wholesale quote for marrows in the UK market is about £2.66 — it's held close to flat at that level across the past 12 months.

Right in line with its 12-month average this week.

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 marrows can shift week to week.

It's held pretty steady across the year. Buying what's in season is still the most reliable way to keep produce cost in check.

Seasonality in the UK

In season in the UK from late summer into early autumn (August to October).

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.

Sold per piece; choose firm, unblemished marrows around 1.5-2 kg and avoid oversized, pithy specimens with tough skin.
