What would a British summer be without golden pastry under an uncertain sky and a pot of your favourite chutney or piccalilli? It’s the guaranteed bit of sunshine we have, a comforting buttery crunch surrounding a meaty heart with an accompaniment of zing.

Here is our complete deli roundup for you to relish the unseasonably warm weather…

Sausage Rolls

Perfectly seasoned pork or lamb merguez sausage meat encased in our rich all-butter puff pastry. These are an essential part of any traditional British summertime picnic or party, and also come in a giant footlong size to serve larger groups. Sold raw to bake at home and enjoy them warm.

Pork pies and Scotch eggs

Two true picnic heavyweights from our Bermondsey kitchen. These deli treats are made entirely scratch, all the way down to the pig trotter jelly used to set our pork pies. The scotch eggs see an entire hen’s egg wrapped with our traditional pork sausage meat, then crumbed and fried until golden.

Pâtés

Smooth and rich delights to be smeared on fresh baguette, all of our pâtés are made to their proper French recipes and are a perfect addition to any picnic. Especially delicious when enjoyed with crunchy cornichons or your favourite pickle.

Salads

Our wonderfully quick grab-and-go salad options are an easy side, whilst still feeling homemade. Our salads are made fresh daily by our deli team, ready to eat and enjoy alongside other picnic goodies. A bright salad is the perfect accompaniment to the more salty, savoury bites you find in a traditional British picnic spread.

Quiche

A twist on the French classic quiche Lorraine, our ham hock quiche is a wonderful centrepiece to a refined picnic affair. Grab a slice and enjoy.
