The great thing about frozen food is that you can have it on standby in your freezer so that entertaining doesn’t always have to be planned and scheduled, it can just happen spontaneously. The English weather can be a little unpredictable, so being a bit flexible can help hugely. Having some light summer starters tucked away gives you the freedom to just invite someone in for a drink and nibble when the moment arises, and there’s no stress as you can effortlessly put some bits in the oven whilst you catch up. You can’t go wrong with our Smoked Salmon Terrine, deliciously light and perfect served with a rocket salad, some melba toast, and a wedge of lemon. Our Garlic Butter Prawns are just as delicious as they sound, and perfect for sharing when it comes to dishing up easy summer starters for a crowd. Our Chicken Liver Paté and Salmon Paté are also delicious and light summer starters, but they’re perfect for a small supper too.

All our food is hand-prepared by our chefs using the same ingredients you would at home, and we think this homemade look and taste make for the very best summer starters. It might be worth keeping some summer vegetarian meals options in the freezer too, and even some summer puddings to really keep your guests happy.

Not only are we happy cooking for you, we’re also able to deliver your summer starters to your door when you buy online. You’re always welcome to pop into our shops, but if you’re stocking up then delivery is a nice, easy option.
