Your Al Fresco Dining Guide!

🌞 Your Al Fresco Dining Guide (Chunk Style)

When the sun finally shows its face (however briefly), we Brits know what to do: grab a chair, call some mates, and eat outside like we’re in the Med.

It's getting to the end of August now and we all know these long summer nights out in the garden will be coming to an end soon enough! And as it IS almost the bank holiday weekend...

So we say - forget the barbecue, bring a box of pies outside to enjoy with your friends and family!!

Whether it's a full-on garden party, a picnic in the park, or just sitting on the step with a pie and a pint - al fresco is the way to go.

So, if you’re bored of burnt sausages and wilting salads, here’s how to elevate your outdoor eating game with a few Chunk favourites that were made for fresh air and friends.

🥧 Ready-to-Go Heroes

🧊 Cold Comforts: Pork Pies That Steal the Show

Let’s talk pork pies! No, not the ones sweating in plastic on supermarket shelves.

We’re talking our Squealer Pork Pie - hand-crafted, proper meaty, and the perfect cold snack while the oven heats up.

It’s BBQ snacking done right, no cutlery, no fuss, just hearty pies in your palm!

 Gourmet Sausage Rolls - Garden Party Royalty

Forget your standard sausage rolls. Our gourmet sausage rolls are here to take centre stage.

Choose from:

They’re great hot, cold, or somewhere in between.

🥧 Not Just for the Oven: Pies & Pasties with Outdoor Vibes

Our Steak Pasty, Cheddar and Onion Pasty, or Chicken & Chorizo Pasty are all handheld beauties that keep your other hand free for a pint. No plate required.

Warming them in the oven while the burgers sizzle outside? Ideal. Or pop a couple in beforehand and let your guests choose their adventure... BBQ burger or posh pasty?

Not to mention, our Homity Pie and Butternut Squash & Goats Cheese Pie bring a little something different to the table – rich, golden crusts and gooey goodness inside.

Just the thing to class up the grill!

And if you’re really pushing the boat out – why not warm a Steak and Ale Pie or Chicken, Leek & Bacon Pie in the oven too?

🔥 Veg on the Side

You’ve already got burgers and buns on the grill - so throw a few extra veg on for sides that go brilliantly with a pie:

  • Grilled corn with paprika butter

  • Charred peppers + red onions tossed in olive oil

  • Courgettes or aubergine with lemon + garlic glaze

Or just go classic with a dressed salad and some good chutneys. We won’t judge.

🍺 Don’t Forget the Drinks

  • Steak pies = dark ales

  • Veggie bakes = chilled white wine or ginger beer

  • Curry pies = citrusy IPA or mango lassi

  • Pork pies = a proper pint of scrumpy

Just match the vibes!

🍓 For Pudding?

Al fresco doesn't stop at mains. Grab a tub of ice cream, some strawberries, or a slice of something sweet - no one ever regrets dessert.

Ready to Dine Out (Literally)?

Whether you’re hosting a family garden do, packing for a coastal lunch, or just treating yourself on a camping trip... our pies, pasties and sausage rolls are easy to heat, easy to serve, and always crowd-pleasers.

So why not bring a box of Chunk bakes to the BBQ?

 Whether you’re feeding a crowd or just want to show off a bit – our pork pies, gourmet sausage rolls, pasties and pies belong on your table this barbecue season.

Load up the grill, fill the fridge, and bulk up your BBQ the Chunk way.
