THE TOAST TOPPER
The Pished Fish
The Pished Fish is based in East Sussex and makes some of the best cured fish we’ve tried in a while. Founder James Eagle started out selling his Scandinavian-style cold smoked salmon slices at London markets (“smoking salmon in a glorified filing cabinet in Camberwell,” he says) before expanding production and relocating to the South Downs. Alongside its core salmon range (which includes G&T and ‘dark and stormy’ cures), the brand has developed products including ‘Gilltong’ – an excellent fish-based alternative to biltong – and an extremely moreish smoked salmon pâté. To try a bit of everything, sample packs are available to buy on its website.

THE BREAKFAST SPREAD
Halen Môn x Meridian
Welsh food producers Meridian and Halen Môn have teamed up to create a new salted peanut butter range. In both smooth and crunchy varieties, the spread is deliberately simple: roasted skin-on peanuts are finished with a pinch of Halen Môn’s PDO-status sea salt, which is harvested from the waters around Anglesey. Meridian has built its reputation on stripped-back nut butters made without unnecessary additives, and this latest launch sticks to that winning formula. The addition of Halen Môn salt doesn’t overpower the peanuts, but sharpens and deepens their flavour instead, creating something more rounded and savoury.

THE BBQ ADDITION
Gymkhana x Waitrose
Gymkhana is bringing its signature fire-led cooking to home BBQs with the launch of its new Tandoor Experience range. Exclusively available at Waitrose, the collection elevates everyday grilling by channelling the depth and complexity of the two-Michelin-starred restaurant’s flavours into a series of ready-to-cook dishes. Each product is pre-marinated using the principles found in the Gymkhana kitchen – layered spice, balance, precision – making it easy to achieve restaurant-quality results at home. Highlights include the Tandoori Spatchcock Chicken and Chicken Tikka Thighs, both marinated with Kashmiri chilli, ginger and yoghurt, and served with a vibrant green chutney.

THE GADGET
Ooni Koda 2 Rotating Stone Oven Range
Ooni has unveiled its Koda 2 Rotating Stone Oven Range, which is designed to make home pizza cooking significantly easier. Available across the Koda 2, Koda 2 Pro and Koda 2 Max models, the new rotating stone system automatically turns the pizza while cooking, managing intense heat and guarding against uneven cooking. Rather than relying on a central pivot, Ooni’s design distributes the rotation mechanism around the edge of the stone, reducing wobble and allowing for smoother movement – ultimately meaning users can simply launch their pizza and let the oven do the hard work for them this summer.

THE BBQ ESSENTIALS
Farm Shop Wagyu X
Farm Shop in Durslade, Somerset, has been a working farm for over a millennium. It’s now home to over 250 Aberdeen Angus, Hereford and Wagyu breed cattle and a 1,000-strong flock of sheep, supplying it with beef and lamb throughout the year. New for summer 2026 is its Wagyu X collection, which offers everything from burger kits with buns, cheese, bacon and burger relish, to wagyu spicy sausages, brisket and short ribs. We rate its signature BBQ box, featuring wagyu burgers and sausages, plus an outstanding lemon and rosemary spatchcocked chicken, which all arrive ready to be thrown straight on the grill. Add some of Farm Shop’s rhubarb hot sauce to your order while you’re at it.

THE WINES
The Any Day Edit
Historic wine merchant Berry Bros & Rudd has launched The Any Day Edit, a new collection designed to sit between special occasion bottles and everyday supermarket picks. Built around discovery and accessibility, the range includes wines from regions in Austria, Greece and Western Australia, selected to feel interesting without being intimidating. Seasonal rotations and a more relaxed tone encourage the idea that BBR wine can be a part of everyday life rather than something reserved solely for celebrations. Accordingly, each bottle has been chosen for immediate drinkability and character.

THE CHARCUTERIE
The Newt
The Newt in Somerset is launching its own charcuterie range this summer, extending the estate’s produce-led approach into cured meats. Handmade in the estate butchery and aged in bespoke curing rooms, the collection draws inspiration from both British and European preservation techniques, with a strong emphasis on provenance and seasonality. Meats are sourced from the estate wherever possible, including venison from the Newt’s own herd, alongside British pork and locally sourced game. The range includes traditional cuts such as lomo and coppa, alongside garlic and fennel salami, chorizo picante and venison bresaola cured with red wine, rosemary and orange.

THE CAN
Mezcal Mary
Pickle House – best known for its Spiced Tomato Mix and cult pickle juice – has expanded its ready-to-drink line-up with three canned cocktails and mixers, now available exclusively through Whole Foods. The collection includes a classic Bloody Mary made with Sapling vodka, a smoky Mezcal Mary and a non-alcoholic Virgin Mary, all packaged in portable 250ml cans. The team suggest serving them chilled – simply give them a good stir and garnish with celery, a slice of lemon, and a cocktail stick loaded with jalapeños and pickles.

THE SUMMER SANDWICH
Toklas Bakery
Toklas Bakery has appointed Adam Sellar as executive baker – and to celebrate he’s launched a new Italian-inspired sandwich menu. The sandwiches draw inspiration from breads found across Rome, Bologna and Milan, using long-fermented doughs that create a crisp exterior and soft interior when reheated. Fillings are intentionally restrained, allowing the bread to remain central to the experience. Options include prosciutto cotto with scamorza and mustard mayo; anchovy with stracciatella and pickled lemon; and courgette with white bean cream and basil.

THE STAPLES
Ottolenghi x Waitrose
Yotam Ottolenghi continues to expand his popular pantry range with a new line-up of dressings and fresh deli staples. Rooted in the bold, layered flavours synonymous with Ottolenghi’s delis, the additions are designed to bring ease and impact to everyday cooking. Two standout dressings – Orange Marmalade with Aleppo chilli and Honey Mustard lifted with preserved lemon – are made for drizzling over salads, grains or roasted vegetables. Alongside these, the chilled deli staples are firsts for the brand. Pickled Carrot & Kohlrabi Slaw, Pomegranate Harissa Olives and Hibiscus Pickled Onions have been developed to deliver maximum flavour with minimal effort, in keeping with Ottolenghi’s approach to accessible, ingredient-led approach to cooking.

THE CONDIMENT
’Nnaise
London condiment brand ’Grette is expanding beyond salad dressings with the launch of ’Nnaise. Founded by Brixton couple Juno and Gus in 2023, ’Grette fast developed a following thanks to its all-natural ingredients and playful branding. Now stocked in almost 200 shops across the UK, the brand is building on that momentum with this move into mayonnaise. There are three flavours – Plain, Pickle and Harissa – which are all made with free-range whole eggs. ’Grette has also launched a new tahini and lime salad dressing, which will lift any bowl of leaves.
