Spring Seasonal food trends 2020

With the change of the seasons we love exploring the seasonal food for the time of year. As spring approaches, it’s also a great time to take a look at some of the latest foodie trends.

For those planning any celebrations, have a think about what seasonal food you could include in your menu or ask your caterer to help you. Here’s a list of some of our top seasonal food for Spring:

  • Asparagus
  • Cauliflower
  • Celeriac
  • Curly Kale
  • Gooseberries
  • Grapefruit
  • Purple Sprouting broccoli
  • Sea Salmon
  • Seabass
  • Sorrel
  • Spring Lamb
  • Spring Onion
  • Watercress

With plant-based food growing in popularity, knowing what’s in season is a great way to embrace vegan, vegetarian or a flexitarian diet. Statistics indicate that half the population will follow a flexitarian diet by 2025, which means following a mainly plant-based diet.

Hot trends for 2020, according to The Food People, include ugly fruits. With the popularity of no-processed food in a diet, “consumers are keen for food least-touched”.

An ongoing trend is to “eat the seasons”. A term coined by many chefs to keep cooking seasonal. Not only for the best results but it also gives an option to update a menu, it’s good for the environment and it helps you to keep things local.

What’s on the menu

Our cold fork menu is a great choice as we move into spring. Our poached salmon dressed with cucumber and mint is great for centre piece surrounded by our tasty salads full of spring greens.

But, if you still feel the need for something warming, then our hot fork buffets menu includes vegetable goulash and vegetarian lasagne which we pack with seasonal veg.
