Bank holiday recipes
Bank holiday on the horizon? We’re lucky enough to have a few in the warmer spring and summer months, and in May 2023, there’s also the bonus Coronation day on Monday 8th.
This collection is jammed with sharing recipe ideas and inspiration to feed a crowd, whether round the buffet table or barbecue. Many are easily halved or doubled, depending on your numbers.
Check out our brunch recipes too, and make the most of those lie-ins…
