If there’s one place we can always count on for summer food that feels a bit fancy but won’t blow the budget, it’s Waitrose.
The supermarket has become the MVP of the BBQ season, filling tables with elevated options like delicious skewers, charcuterie stars and, of course, ‘picky bits’.
Take its deli range, for example. With deals like three for £8, you can get ricotta-stuffed cherry peppers, chorizo and gouda involtini (gouda cheese-wrapped chorizo, for the uninitiated), stuffed vine leaves, and chargrilled artichokes. Is your mouth watering yet? Because honestly, same.
Love olives? Get ready to choose between buttery Nocellara, garlic and jalapeno-stuffed, or go full Mediterranean and throw in some feta and Greek Kalamata olives too. Or get a mix as part of the deal, pop everything artfully into little serving bowls, and make like you’ve been prepping for your guests all morning (without actually breaking a sweat).
To really amp up the Mediterranean feast, opt for the patatas bravas with chorizo, or the basil and burrata arancini, or even the feta and honey filo rolls. All of these make perfect sides to the main event: Waitrose’ BBQ range.
With a three for £12 offer on its BBQ range products, there’s a lot to love at Waitrose at the moment.
You can get everything from on-trend halloumi hot honey skewers, to smash burgers with bone marrow, and king prawns with a honey soy glaze – so there really is something for every palate and preference.
If you’re looking for showstoppers, try the spiced kofta kebabs, succulent lamb burgers, and even a chimichurri steak for those who wish to explore new flavours to choose from. Just fire up the grill, and get ready to go.
If, at this point, you’re thinking what you really could use is a few more sides, then you’re in luck. Waitrose’s range includes a Caesar dip, a broccoli, spinach, and ricotta quiche, pork and pickle pies, sweet potato falafels, and a Greek salad antipasti.
And to finish? Well, Waitrose’s freezer aisle never disappoints, with so many sweet options, you may just render your local ice cream van redundant. From ice lollies for the kids and gelato for your poshest guests, together with vegan options and classic cones, there’s plenty of choice to satisfy your sweet tooth.
Whether you're hosting a garden BBQ, heading to a park picnic, or just throwing together a midweek dinner to eat in the warm summer evening, Waitrose has made it effortless to build your dream summer menu.
And with deals that let you mix and match, you can curate the perfect summer meal in just one shopping trip, with plenty of options to try next time.
