Seize the summer with Waitrose

Waitrose launches its summer range.

With the summer months in arms reach, our summer range is returning to our shelves! Lighting up the barbecue? Planning a picnic? Hosting a rosé evening with friends? - we’ve  got you covered with something to suit all summer hosting occasions. 

Emma Beale, Head of Product Innovation at Waitrose, said: “With summertime just around the corner, it’s fantastic to see our summer range hitting our shelves once again. Our summer selection takes the best flavours from around the world  - from the humblest street stall to the most vibrant spice market. 

“We know that this summer will provide a variety of hosting occasions, whether it’s watching big sporting matches, hosting a barbecue with friends or enjoying a picnic in the park, and we’re excited to see our customers enjoying this delicious range, hopefully in the sunshine!”

One of our delicious new additions for the summer include our Chocolate Strawberries - rich chocolate mousse with a juicy strawberry compote hiding inside, on a crunchy biscuit base.

Emily Bundy, desserts product developer at Waitrose, said: “The team and I have loved creating our new Chocolate Strawberries. I’ll be serving mine with some chopped strawberries, some whipped cream and a little sprig of mint - the perfect summer dessert.”

WR Summer Pork Hot Dog Whorls

Other new products* for 2023 include:

Cacio e Pepe Potato Salad - Made with Charlotte potatoes and a creamy cheese, black pepper and chive dressing inspired by the classic Italian dish, cacio e pepe.
