Sarah Loxton – Product Developer for M&S Deli said: ‘Picnics are going to be big this summer as many Brits continue to enjoy staycations. We wanted to make sure our customers had the very best of what M&S has to offer so we have overhauled our deli range introducing some wonderful innovation and upgrading dishes to ensure they are the best of the best. A personal favourite of mine is the Foot Long Sausage roll which is perfect for sharing – British outdoor bred pork and caramelised onion wrapped in all butter pastry topped with crackling crumb. We have looked at every ingredient, in every recipe to ensure perfection and hope this perfect food makes for a perfect summer picnic’.
