Entertaining Ideas

Whether it’s light entertaining or something a bit more formal, celebrate beautiful local produce at its finest.

Smoked Salmon

Sides of salmon added to our premium mix of sweet paprika and cream cheese with fresh dill and baby capers.

Serving Tips

Smoked salmon is a strong flavoured dip, so serve with simple crackers, or breadsticks — also great with fresh cucumber or even sliced apple or pear.

Drink Pairing

Pairing smoked salmon with Champagne is a no brainer, but a light malt whisky or a good, chilled vodka would go equally as well.

Tzatziki Entertaining Ideas

Whether it’s light entertaining or something a bit more formal, celebrate beautiful local produce at its finest.

Tzatziki

Extra thick, strained Greek yoghurt and an evident amount of crisp, diced cucumber with fresh garlic and a pinch of salt for the perfect traditional tzatziki dip the whole family will love.

Serving Tips

Tzatziki is perfect with vegetables such as carrot sticks, broccoli or charred cauliflower or go traditional by dipping pita bread. For a heartier dip lamb koftas or spicy chicken wings.

Drink Pairing

What you pair with tzatziki will mostly depend on what you are dipping, however feel free to throw tradition out the window and enjoy a nice fruity Pinot Noir, or if that’s a little too much a nice light Prosecco.

Basil Pesto Dip

Hand picked basil leaves balanced with fresh garlic, Parmesan and spices to compliment the perfect amount of crunch in this traditional basil pesto dip.

Serving Tips

In addition to dipping with your favourite breadsticks or flatbread, why not spread a little pesto on sourdough bread and top with cheese, toast and serve. For a fancy cheese option serve over baked brie and then dip with crispy lavosh.

Drink Pairing

A good crisp Italian white will pair perfectly with the hearty flavours of basil pesto, or if you prefer red perhaps a nice chilled Chianti.

Spring Onion

A creamy blend of mayonnaise and cream cheese with fresh herbs and crisp spring onion — this flavour is a sure winner with the kids!

Serving Tips

Not only is this dip delicious with a cheesy biscuit, but also pairs ideally with grilled chicken or lamb kebabs.

Drink Pairing

For something different why not try a dry Riesling, to help the onion shine through, or a light, refreshing lager would also work if that is your preference.

Drink Pairing

A crisp, fresh boutique cider is the perfect pairing for the creaminess of our hommus dip. Or if you prefer a wine try a young Pinot Grigio.
