So you’ve ordered your sample pot of paint and when it arrives you find a little pot of award winning marmalade in the box.
It’s not part of some big strategic marketing plan to get you to buy more paint (or marmalade). It’s not because we’re diversifying our product offering. And it’s definitely not because we got a load of cheap marmalade off the back of a lorry. No, it’s nothing more than a nice surprise and yes, it has been made in a traditional open pan on an aga cooker using locally sourced ingredients.
Suzie Rudkin of Pure Preserves won a gold for this marmalade in the Great Taste awards and we liked it so much we thought we’d find a way of sharing it with some of you.
If you’d like us to send a free sample to brighten up someone else’s day, or if you’d like to get hold of a full family-size jar directly from Suzie just leave a reply with your email address or phone number below (we won’t pass your details to anyone else).
Hope you like it – just don’t try spreading it on your walls!

I have just bought your paint for the first time, but it won’t be the last. It has been a perfect choice for my new library.
Quite excited about choosing the next room colour from your range. The website is also of great assistance with coordinating colours shown with your choice.
Also love marmalade!

Hello, I am really looking forward to getting my sample card of the new “Silver Pines” as it looked fab in the latest Marie-Claire Decoration and just the thing to make over my bedroom. As I live in France, however, I can’t get the card directly from the official TLG site. I am hoping the showroom in Paris can furnish it to me as I would like to start as soon as possible, of course! And if I can manage to have some proper, delicious English marmalade in the bargain, so much the better! What a clever idea…
