Spring brings not just warmer weather, but the joy of outdoor gatherings on the horizon. With the cold months behind us, it’s time to reunite with friends in backyards or lakeside settings. As blooms emerge, thoughts turn to lighter meals and shedding layers. Whether chasing warmth or embracing the cold, spring unites us. Our spring lunch offers vibrant dishes and airy décor, setting the stage for reconnecting and summer plans. Let’s celebrate with fresh ingredients, crisp cocktails, and a meal that embodies the essence of spring!

Perfect Pea Soup

Start your meal seated with spring pea soup. On the day, add cream and micro herbs.
Delightful beginning to any dining experience.

Strawberry Mango Salsa Cups

For a ladies luncheon, serve bite-sized colourful canapés that feature fresh ingredients that scream “spring is here!” and are bursting with seasonal flavours.

Pink Lemonade Rosé

For vibrant spring cocktails, colour matters! Try our refreshing pink lemonade rosé: crisp, delicious, and moderately low in alcohol content. Ideal for spring sipping.

Penny Hack

Old wives’ tale or not, placing a penny in tulip water supposedly prevents wilting and prolongs their lifespan. Try this tip for longer-
lasting blooms.
