Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Grand Oak Hotel in Windermere needed a consistent, high-quality fruit solution for their popular afternoon tea service and breakfast buffet, as fresh peach availability and quality were too variable.
"Switching to Caterers Pride canned peaches was a brilliant move. The quality is always spot on, the flavour is fantastic, and it has massively streamlined our prep. Our pastry section can now work faster without sacrificing the quality our guests expect. It's a simple change that's had a huge impact."
Robert Davies – Head Chef
The hotel successfully reduced its fruit preparation time by over 30% and eliminated ingredient wastage due to inconsistent fresh produce, leading to more predictable costs and happier chefs.
Storage and Usage Guide
Opening and Storing
- Always check the can for dents or damage before opening.
- Store unopened tins in a cool, dark, and dry place like a pantry or stockroom.
- Once opened, immediately transfer any unused peaches and their juice into a clean, non-metallic, airtight container.
- Refrigerate the container promptly and ensure you use the remaining peaches within 3 days for best quality.
Best Practices for Use
- For baking applications like pies and tarts, drain the slices well to avoid a soggy bottom crust.
- Don't discard the juice! It can be used to add flavour to smoothies, jellies, or even as a base for a light syrup or coulis.
- The slices can be used cold straight from the can for salads and buffets, or gently heated for warm desserts.
- For a simple, elegant dessert, serve chilled with a dollop of crème fraîche or Greek yoghurt.

Explore more from Caterers PrideWhy 'In Juice' Beats 'In Syrup' for Chefs
Ever wonder what the real difference is between fruit packed in juice versus heavy syrup? It's all about control. Think of syrup as a dominant flavour that you have to work around; it's already decided how sweet your dish will be. These Caterers Pride peaches, however, are packed in a light, natural juice. Imagine this as a neutral starting point. The natural sweetness of the peach shines through, allowing you, the chef, to decide the final flavour profile. You can add your own spiced syrup, a touch of honey, or simply let the fruit's natural taste be the star. It's the difference between being handed a finished painting and being given a high-quality canvas to create your own masterpiece.
