About the Crooked Pickle...
The Crooked Pickle Co. was born in 2018 out of a simple but delicious frustration: why are most pickles in the UK so boring? Wander down any supermarket aisle and you'll find the usual suspects—soft, soggy gherkins, lifeless pickled onions, and piccalilli that's more vinegar than veg. It's been the same jarred line-up since forever, and frankly, it’s a bit uninspired. While every local market has a chutney or two, finding vibrant, crunchy, creatively spiced pickled vegetables? That’s another story.
So we set out to shake up the pickle game—with bold flavours, proper crunch, and a serious love for the art of pickling.
"But why is the pickle crooked?"
Well, we're based in the shadow of Chesterfield's famous Crooked Spire!
