Top 10 Panda Recipes for Summer Picnics & Garden Parties

Whether you're planning a picnic in the park, hosting friends for a summer barbecue or simply enjoying lunch in the garden, Panda makes it easy to create a wonderful selection of savoury bakes and sweet treats. From individual quiches and fluffy focaccia to zesty lemonies and nostalgic traybakes, these ten recipes are perfect for making the most of the warmer months.

1. Summer Quiche

A true summer classic. Light, colourful and perfect served warm or cold.

 

2. Garden Loaf

A beautiful centrepiece for a summer table. Packed with flavour and perfect sliced for picnics, lunches or sharing platters.

3. Garlic & Herb Focaccia

Soft, flavourful and made for sharing. Serve alongside salads, cheeses, barbecue dishes or as part of a summer grazing board.

4. Mini Sausage Rolls

A true picnic favourite. Easy to prepare ahead, simple to transport and usually one of the first things to disappear.

5. Onion Bhajis

Warmly spiced and full of flavour, these make a brilliant addition to a summer buffet. Serve with dips, salad or as part of a relaxed sharing platter.

6. Savoury Flapjacks

Portable, satisfying and easy to pack, making them a useful addition to picnic baskets and summer lunchboxes.

7. Sweet Scones

A classic choice for afternoon tea in the garden. Serve with butter, cream, berries or your favourite summer preserve.

8. Applejacks

A nostalgic, gently sweet bake that travels well and pairs perfectly with a cup of tea outdoors.

9. Lemonies

Bright, zesty and wonderfully summery. These refreshing traybakes are ideal for sharing at garden parties and family gatherings.

10. Brownies

Rich, indulgent and easy to prepare in advance. Every summer spread needs something chocolatey.
