Wednesday 20th of March…the first day of Spring which marks a time for change and new beginnings. Spring also marks the arrival of new, fresh, seasonal food. So why not take a break from your Spring cleaning and take the time to develop a new meal plan to incorporate all the delicious seasonal fruit and veg! And, if you’re planning any celebrations this season, have a think about what seasonal food you could include in your menu.

Here’s a list of some of our favourite seasonal food this Spring:

• Asparagus
• Spring lamb
• Cauliflower
• Celeriac
• Salmon
• Spring onion
• Spring greens
• Spinach
• Savoy Cabbage
• Curly kale
• Rhubarb
• Prawns
• Lobster

Consuming food within season not only helps the environment by reducing the carbon footprint of the food you buy, but the food also contains much more nutrients and minerals which your body needs to stay healthy!

Ocado.com has also recently seen a surge in customers searching for ‘eco-friendly (up 93% last year) with one trend, in particular, gaining popularity – ‘rescued food’! So, seasonal veg is also about embracing wonky fruit and veg and preventing it from going to waste. .

We offer a range of seasonal food across our menus. In our finger buffet menu, we have everything from a selection of luxury prawns with dip through to spring rolls. While our cold fork menu has a host of enticing salads perfect for spring including sweetcorn and peppers, fresh green salad which both work well with our poached salmon dressed with cucumber and mint. And, for dessert, why not try our pavlova dessert made with seasonal fruit and fresh cream.

At Buffets by Design we use fresh, locally sourced food where possible. If you’re looking to host a function, get in touch to chat about how we can provide a tailored menu incorporating seasonal choices. Call us on, 020 8651 2338.
