Easter Starters

Adding extra courses to a meal doesn’t have to mean more work - our chefs have been busy preparing our Easter dinner starters in our kitchen, so that you don’t have to spend the long weekend working away in yours. There’s loads to choose from, so if you’d like a bit of help …

We have plenty of starters suitable for a vegetarian Easter dinner. Our Three Cheese Fondant Soufflés are deliciously light and can easily be adapted for someone who’s more of a carnivore by grilling some prosciutto until crispy and serving on top. Or our Great Taste Award-winning Butternut Squash, Spinach & Feta Tarts make great Easter lunch starters, a light meal with just a salad on the side, or as part of an Easter buffet spread.

You don’t have to miss out if you’re serving a vegan Easter dinner this year! Our Roasted Vegetable Tarte Tatins are just the ticket, or our Butternut Squash & Red Onion Galette which serves 6 so could work as a shared starter. They’re also not too heavy, so there'll be plenty of room for a delicious Easter dessert.

Looking for an Easter starter that goes perfectly with fish? Our Salmon, Horseradish & Spinach Stacks look and taste fantastic or you could do a shared Side of Scottish Salmon with Lemon & Dill (serves 4 – 8). These are a great option to prepare guests for a delicious Easter main course.

For easy Easter starters with meat, Paté is a lovely light option, served simply with some crusty bread. Or Duck & Plum Filo Parcels, all handmade by our Pastry Team. If nothing we’ve talked about takes your fancy, check out our Easter dinner boxes which contain everything you need to put on the perfect lunch or dinner for friends and family.

If you want to pop in and see us our shop teams will happily share their ideas for simple starters for Easter or buy online and have your shop delivered to your door. If we don’t get to see you to say it in person, then happy Easter and happy feasting.
