Anarkali Indian restaurant Haslingden is a hidden gem, and is one of Lancashire’s premier Indian restaurants which is loved by Indian food lovers from far and wide. Mid-August. Traditionally, the first apple available at the start of the season. Small/medium fruit, attractive red stripes over green/yellow base. Flavour is distinct, pleasant but not always very sweet. October to December. Probably of Victorian descent, large, irregular apples with mild sweet flavour. Very reliable, and usually heavy crops. The Anarkali Indian Restaurant is a well-established restaurant based on Roundhill Road, in Haslingden with beautiful over-looking countryside views. Thanks to Rossendale Online and the Farmer�s Glory for the prize of lunch for two in the recent competition. We went there in December; I�d recommend giving the place a try if you haven�t been already.

Anotherproduct of Marcus Tydeman's nursery - Worcester bred with McIntosh. We have had slightly irregular crops, but good quality and Deliciousfruit. Speaking about the new branding, CEO for Wadworth, Chris Welham said, “The new look pump clip and brand has real stand out on the bar which is essential today when customers have so much choice. We developed the new look so that this popular beer reached a bigger audience and we are confident it will work”. Mid-August. Small, yellow/red apple with intensejuicyflavour. Skin can be affected by scab, but flavourunimpaired. Mid-late September. Dark, crimson apple with distinctive ribbed shape. Can suffer from superficial scab damage to skin.Mid September to late October.Medium-large round, pale yellow fruit with pleasant aroma.Flesh is sharp/sweet, and holds shape well in cooking. Once a popular apple in the Tweedside orchards of Scotland. Sport of Alkamene; a modern variety bred in Germany. Compact habit, healthy tree with medium vigour. Retains some of the Cox flavour (Cox is a distant parent). Fruit is pleasant and uniform, but we have had lots of canker and scab problems. Birds can be a problem so hang up old CDs and build elaborate scarecrows with battery timers and big hats. Net the bushes if desperate. Yes, a Cox cross. This time between Cox andLaxton's Superb. As the name suggests, a late apple, and a good keeper. Apple has a Cox-type colour, slightly more conical, and tends to be large fruit. Well-known commercial apple, bred in Australia. Surprisingly perhaps, we have found it crops satisfactorily in our difficult climate. Flavour of northern-grown apples is quite acidic, but refreshing! Skin is blushed red over the familiar green. Tree is not vigorous, and quite compact.

Late August/Early September. Deep red over yellow base, medium fruit with sweet, juicy flesh. Flavour has strawberry hint. Reliable cropper, lovely attractive fruit. The main disadvantage of these plants is that they are very thorny, similar in shape and pointedness to the native matagouri or ‘wild Irishman’ scrub so you will get many a punctured finger trimming twigs and opening up the bushes with secateurs. This kind of pruning is a good idea though for helping the fruit to bask in those valuable sugar-yielding solar rays.Modern variety bred specifically for organic systems in the Czech Republic. Similar to Cevaal, a nice eating apple but with disease and cropping issues, for us at least. By this time we had had enough. We had been there far too long and there was still 3 more courses to arrive. We asked for the bill. Full price it said! So we queried this with the owner Terri and the head chef who i presume is her partner. They were raging that we had the cheek to complain about there establishment. No apology just disgust that we hadnt enjoyed there efforts. After telling us to just get in our cars and leave and swearing at us at the bar we walked out halfway through our Christmas meal. Medium to large apple, lemon coloured skin and white juicy flesh. Flavour is slightly tart and refreshing, flesh is crisp.Vigorous, healthy tree, but strongly biennial in habit (at least in our experience). May also be used as a cooking apple. Late September to January. Oblong-conical fruitwith predominant ribbing. Flushed red over green base.Quite rich, cream flesh. Now since Christmas day i believe business hasnt been good and now they are closing down! Others walked out on the day aswell. Shouting and swearing was heard coming from the kitchen and the waiting on staff were left in tears. No wonder. If they ever read this i hope they feel bad for spoiling our day and will admit to themselves that they let us all down that day.

Gavin is the result of postwar breeding to produce a Cox-type apple with better disease resistance. It is a cross between Merton Worcester and a crab apple. We have had regular crops, but of somewhat bland flavour, although the apples look wonderful. Another Cox cross, bred in the 1960's to offer some its parent's complex flavour with better disease resistance. Fruit is red on yellow base, lightly russetted. Fruit has more of a pearmain shape than Cox. Tree has a reputation for health and reliable cropping. My wife had Cumberland sausage and mash with deep red brown rich onion gravy. I sampled that too, it was equally nice. For dessert we had toffee apple brioche, a kind of apple based bread and butter pudding with cream � this was exceptionally good, all rounded off with fresh coffee. Mid-August. Deep red flush over pale base, flesh white, juicy, with a melting flavour. At its best, one of the best flavoured early apples, with a flavour that cannot be experienced inany commercially available apple.Fruit is medium/large. Susceptible to canker, however.Product of 20th Cent breeding programme to produce more modern apples. Attractive, even fruit, but we hve found it not hardy and prone to scab and canker. Late September to End October. A cross betweenWorcester Pearmain and McIntosh, bred by .Medium fruit with partly conical shape, red/dark red skin with soft white flesh. Flavour is sweet, melting. At its best, the most delicious apple that we grow. Bred by the inimitable H M Tydeman. Recommended You must come and dig up a bush this winter,” she would say, a twinkle in her eye at the thought of gooseberry-related delights that awaited me as a future connoisseur.
