Just the thing for a picnic or street party food

With a cluster of bank holidays and wonderful weather, we don’t need an excuse to get out and party with friends and family. This painting by Harold Sharman Henson depicts a scene of what traditional street parties used to be like.

You don’t need a permit to serve food as long as you’re not selling it at your street party. But it’s important that the food is prepared in a safe and hygienic manner so see my tips for Baking and Hygiene.  We used to have sandwiches, scotch eggs, sausage rolls, cooked meats, home made cakes and biscuits for street parties or picnics. 

This Easter Sunday, after a lovely walk around our local parkland it was warm enough to have a picnic so I served up an Easter version of Grandma's Simnel Cake as a scrumptious treat.
