The asparagus comes from the Chinn family, fourth-generation farmers based in the Wye Valley, who have supplied M&S since 2005. Their light, sandy soil creates ideal growing conditions.

For those planning an Easter feast, M&S has some British lamb options on offer. The retailer is stocking showstopping centrepieces, including a Harissa Lamb Shoulder weighing 1.7kg for £46, and a Greek-Style Lamb Leg at 1.9kg for £57, which comes stuffed with feta and spinach.

Jersey Royal potatoes are also hitting shelves, with their nutty, waxy flavour perfect for simply steaming with butter. M&S has its own dedicated team of potato pickers sourcing the best on the island, with prices starting at £3.50.
