Ken Ibbotson is well known in the Peak District for his pickling skills. Alongside his wife he was previously the co-owner of Ibbotson's of Ashford village shop.

Ken has been pickling as a hobby for over 30 years. He used to sell his produce at the shop and now distributes them to a select few customers and outlets in the area.

Even after all this time he still enjoys the process of peeling his carefully selected onions and hand crafting the pickling vinegar in which they sit. He creates a special blend of honey, delicate spices and quality vinegar using his decades old recipe.
