Calder's Kitchen was formed by the Cadler family in 2015 after discovering Grandad Charlie's original Piccalilli recipe, making it in his memory and uncovering something amazing! Charlie was a milkman and lived most of his life in South Shields, Tyne & Wear, serving his country in the Second World War. A passoinate cook and family man, we now make each flavour in our range in Grandad's memory using vegetables he used to grow in his back garden and cook with himself.
We started making Piccalilli in our family kitchen after discovering Andrew's late Granddad, Charlie's favourite family recipe and deciding to 'give it a go'.
We currently have seven core flavours, available all year around with the occasional guest chutney and more new products in the pipeline for 2025.

We now stock around 150 independent food and drink shops a and cover a wide range of foodie events across the year.

We take pride in our values which are providing quality, fresh and unique flavours, hard work and making our customers smile.
After initially giving our first batch to family and friends to try and receiving great feedback, we used started to sell hampers at Christmas to raise money for a school in Tanzania, East Africa.
We later developed two variations on the traditional recipe, Chillililli which has a delicious medium strength sweet chilli glow and later, the slightly naughty spicy Sillylilli (Andrew's favourite which he now eats with, well pretty much everything!).
