Raspberries

What is Raspberries?

Soft red summer berries, sold by the punnet or piece. Delicate and prone to spoiling quickly.

Used fresh on desserts, in coulis, sorbets, tarts, breakfast service and garnishes, and in sauces for game. A premium plate finisher.

Raspberries wholesale price in the UK

As of April 27, 2026, the wholesale quote for raspberries in the UK market is about £2.45. Over the past 12 months it's ranged from £2.25 to £3.15, with a typical week landing around £2.80.

Right now it's running below its 12-month average — a solid window to spec a little extra and lock in the rate.

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 raspberries can shift week to week.

Across the year the trend has been up (down about 11% 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 raspberries are at their best in summer, roughly June to September; imported fills the rest of the year.

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.

Buy little and often as raspberries are highly perishable; check punnet bases for crushed or mouldy fruit. British summer berries offer the best flavour and value in season.
