You might be in luck if we get another heat wave during August. However, generally speaking outdoor tomatoes in the UK are a bit rubbish, and that’s accounting for these recent hot summers due to climate change. If you grow them undercover (greenhouse, polytunnel, etc.) you can get them in really early, and harvest right in to early October (weather permitting).

I’d remove it and let it ripen fully indoors to see if the plant produces anymore flowers. My toms are all under glass and the beefsteaks run out of energy after maybe three trusses, but once I started harvesting the plants have started fruiting again.

Maybe next year ensure you get a variety that is suited for outdoor growing. The stems always seem to be so much thicker. I noticed these small poxy ones that split off at the bottom and have multiple main stems never do well without a greenhouse or poly tunnel.
I know moneymaker I think they’re called do well
