Don’t let this weather ruin a perfectly great summer of food and drink launches. Just because we haven’t been able to picnic in the park as often as we’d like, or have a regular Thursday night BBQ in the garden doesn’t mean we can’t embrace all the new launches this August.
Throw caution to the wind and have a carpet picnic in your living room, or simply add some BBQ flavours to your mid-week meals. There’s always a way to enjoy summer here in the UK!
