The Best Tomatoes in Sussex
Not only do we think our tomatoes are the best in Sussex but we believe they are the best in the UK.
The team at The Green House Sussex are proud to grow top quality, handpicked on the vine tomatoes. From big to small, each tomato variety is given it’s own growing area in it’s own greenhouse by our tomato experts who know the differences between each of our varieties to ensure we produce the sweetest, juiciest, and tastiest tomatoes for all of our customers.
We spend our days in the sunniest part of the UK taking care of each of our tomato plants so they deliver fantastic flavour every time.
Prospano
The classic large & round!
A premium large vine variety. Plump and voluptuous with a great flavour in a larger package. A classic tomato for the traditional salad lover to the keen cook which makes it a versatile choice with endless possibilities in the kitchen. A great steady variety to grow: nice and steady with no nasty surprises.
We recommend: Sliced with mozzarella and fresh basil then drizzled with olive oil and balsamic vinegar and a sprinkle of salt & pepper.
Maxxiany XR
A sweet tasting cherry tomato!
We love Maxxiany XR because of her steady personality – uncomplicated and low maintenance, she produces an abundance of delicious fruit without requiring constant attention.
We recommend: A light sprinkle of high quality sea salt which helps draw out the juices, intensifying the inherent sweetness. Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil to complement and highlight the tomatoes natural flavour. Our Maxxiany XR is simply delicious enough for a quick grab from the fruit bowl as you pass by.”
Montague
The ideal cocktail tomato!
This is a true multipurpose cocktail tomato, positioned mid-way between a cherry and a classic tomato and is bursting with an intense flavour and aroma. She’s a very powerful variety that will run wild if you let her! Lends itself well to cooking, but is delicious enough simply to snack on by itself. Cocktail varieties are selected purely for flavour which makes these scarlet beauties the best of both worlds.
We recommend: Sliced in a salad or sandwich, you decide!
Vitalion
A delicious brilliant red cherry!
We love Vitalion because of her steady personality – unfussy and low maintenance, she just produces lots of great tasting fruit without demanding all our attention.
We recommend: Sprinkle a little salt to bring out the rich, sweet taste — perfectly satisfying, whether in a meal or eaten fresh.
Francesca
Considered the pinnacle of on-the-vine cherry, bursting with an intense and balanced blend of sweetness and acidity that is the envy of its class. And doesn’t she know it – with attitude to go with her status, she’s a bit of a primadonna who can be very fickle to grow. But we’re the experts and the results are worth the effort, our Francesca never fails to deliver.
We recommend: Roasted with Asparagus and seasoned with olive oil and balsamic vinegar, topped with crumbled feta cheese.
Trials
Experts at growing!
We’re a well-established nursery with a history going back some 60 years, but we’re an innovative bunch and always looking forward. Working together with seed houses and retailers every year we deploy our growing nous to discover the next tomato gem. That could be newer, tastier versions of what we already grow, or up and coming yellow and orange varieties.
