Having some light summer starters tucked away gives you the freedom to be a bit spontaneous – invite that friend in for a drink when the moment arises and know that you’ve got a bite to eat after or during, without any effort required to prepare it. How nice to be able to sink into a stress-free summer evening without having to worry about cooking.

When the weather’s warmer, we’re not always quite as hungry. Our tarts – Butternut Squash Tarts, Spinach & Feta Tarts; Roasted Mediterranean Vegetable Tarts and Roasted Vegetable Tarte Tatins – are so easy, served simply with a side salad. Our stacks are another great option, we’ve got Halloumi, Red Pepper & Spinach Stacks as well as Salmon, Horseradish & Spinach Stacks. These can also make for a great summer family meal if everyone has smaller appetites.

Paté and toast is another winner, one of our best summer starters – we’ve got a meat, fish, and veggie option to choose from, hopefully something for everyone. These easy summer starters do need to be defrosted first, so a little bit of forward planning is required.

You can’t beat some good old-fashioned Sausage Rolls – great for adults and children alike, and perfect for a summer buffet. Or for something a bit different, our Garlic Butter Prawns with Lemon & Dill are so good, serve simply with some crusty bread, or as part of a smorgasbord. And don’t forget the summer desserts after everything’s said and done, the perfect end to a great evening.

All our summer food starters are hand-prepared by our chefs using the same ingredients you would at home, so they look and taste homemade. Our chefs are very happy cooking for you, but we’re also very happy to deliver to you. Buy online and have your frozen summer starters delivered to your door.
