Spring Time Light Bites
As days are getting longer and outside temperatures begin to rise, we’re finally beginning to see the signs of spring.
As the seasons change so do the foods that we and our customers eat. In the colder months comfort foods like soups, stews and roasts are favoured but bring in the prospect of spring and people gravitate towards fruit, green leaves and lighter options.
With this in mind, we have created some menu ideas for you to use this spring time.
