Summer is here, and with it, our summer menu launch. Designed to inspire those quintessential moments that define the season, our menu sings with refreshing dishes and ingredients that are perfect for picnics, beach outings, garden lunches and summer parties.
Giving lunch the love it deserves
Our summer menu launch is about celebrating taking the time for lunch and making it an occasion. Embracing the season and making the most of the abundance of fresh ingredients and summer vegetables that are available to us.
Lunch is a daily obsession for us. And our summer menu elevates everyday ingredients to something extraordinary. Because when you obsess over simplicity, you can make something incredible. A tomato roll is transformed into our Heritage Tomato Bagel. With a thick layer of Quicke’s whey butter, a slick of verdant pistachio & olive pesto and the season’s finest tomatoes, sourced by Natoora, seasoned to perfection with Cornish sea salt.
Food this good deserves our undivided attention. Enjoyed without digital distractions.
Summer vegetables and ingredients
Our summer menu launch features a range of dishes that showcase the best of summer vegetables and ingredients, from our vibrant Summer Pepper Slaw Salad to our refreshing Courgette and Muhammara Salad. Not to mention a tantalising range of tomato-based dishes, including our Heritage Tomato Bagel, Tomato and Artichoke Quiche and Tomato and Courgette Slice.
This is food that tastes like summer. For the moments that define it.
Summer starters
If you’re hosting a summer party or looking for light bites and starters to enjoy in the summer sun, our summer menu launch has plenty of options to choose from. The Tomato and Artichoke Quiche is a particular favourite, with its buttery shortcrust pastry and creamy ricotta filling. And our Tomato and Courgette Slice is perfect for those who want something rustic and comforting, that is sturdy enough to transport in a picnic basket. Pair them with a selection of our seasonal side salads, as well as the irresistible Two Farmers crisps for the perfect summer smorgasbord.
Summer lunch ideas
Generous sandwiches enjoyed with both hands on the blustery British coastline, languid garden lunches that extend into suppers and spontaneous picnics laid out in sun-dappled fields. Our summer menu launch is designed to inspire these moments. Here’s what’s on the menu:
Sandwiches:
- Heritage Tomato Bagel – [Coming Soon!] Our Heritage Tomato Bagel is a real standout, featuring a classic everything bagel spread thickly with Quicke’s whey butter and homemade pistachio and olive pesto.

We then pair them with Eaten Alive ferments, spinach, gently spiced roasted cauliflower and lentil hummus.
- Courgette and Muhammara Salad – Fresh and vibrant, our Courgette and Muhammara Salad is made of raw courgette with lemon juice, oregano, peas, rocket and Kalamata olives. Served with plant-based spread Superstraccia from our friends at Juliene Bruno and Syrian-inspired dip Muhammara from Natoora, made with pepper, cumin and walnut.
Savoury baked goods:
