Spice up your beer garden snacks!

Thursday, 24 August 2017

One of the best places to be on a hot day is in a beer garden with a light snack, and a glass of your favourite beverage to wash it down. Since it’s summer, and National Eat Outside Day is celebrated on 31st August, we thought we’d share our favourite beer garden snack ideas that are perfect for the occasion!

A great summer snack would be the Maple Berry Parfait – there are not many foods that are as refreshing as a bowl of fruit. This fruit-based snack is the light treat that you’ll need on a summer’s day: http://www.cookingchanneltv.com/recipes/bobby-deen/maple-berry-parfait-2106646

Another one of our favourites is the Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Apples – this healthy substitute for nachos is ideal for the kids in your venue, and it’s delicious too! Interested? Give it a go: http://blog.feelgreatin8.com/dark-chocolate-peanut-butter-apples/

Third on our list is the Chili Lime Baked Chips – we all know that putting a bowl of crisps out for your guests is typical and easy, but this clever trick puts a delicious twist on it. Here’s how to do it: https://wearychef.com/chili-lime-baked-chips

Serrano Wrapped Pear with Goats Cheese is also ideal for National Eat Outside Day – the simplicity of the preparation for this snack does not mirror the incredible taste or presentation: https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/serrano-wrapped-pear-goats-cheese

Another outdoor snack that is fitting for the occasion are the Smoked Salmon Rotollos – very easy to make, and very easy to serve; this ‘finger food’ snack is made for summer: https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/2681/smoked-salmon-rotollos-

Mini Caprese Salad Skewers are the all-around perfect light snack for National Eat Outside Day – this tasty treat is ideal for customers who want to ‘pick’ at the variety and it’s really healthy too: http://www.karenskitchenstories.com/2012/12/mini-caprese-salad-skewers.html#.UN0NxYnjlnc

Last but not least, the Greek Potato Wedges – a little more complex to make than the others, the effort that goes into the preparation is worth the moreish taste. Why not try it out? http://www.delish.com/cooking/recipe-ideas/recipes/a52074/greek-potato-wedges-recipe/

If your venue has a Beer Garden, we hope that our recommendations have encouraged you to serve your customers handy light snacks during the summer period. Enjoy!
