What’s for Dinner? 5 Easy Meals under 30 minutes

Back from holiday and already missing those long, sun-soaked meals by the sea? We know the feeling. Coming home often means back to routine, back to work, and back to the daily question: “What’s for dinner?”

At Panzer’s, we believe dinner should never feel like a chore – even on the busiest nights. That’s why we’ve created our monthly “What’s for Dinner” series, packed with inspiring, ready-in-minutes solutions to make weeknight dining a pleasure.

Using a mix of freshly made deli dishes, seasonal produce and artisanal ingredients, we’ll help you hold onto that holiday feeling just a little longer, with meals that bring sunshine to your table.

Every month, we’ll share five meal ideas that you can prepare in under 30 minutes, using a mix of our freshly made deli dishes, quality produce, and artisanal ingredients. From juicy Rotisserie Chicken to warming Panzer’s house-made pies, we’ll help you create dinners that taste like you’ve spent hours in the kitchen, even if you haven’t.

We’ve chosen dishes that balance indulgence and ease, bringing together the best of Panzer’s for quick, satisfying suppers.

Quick Meal 1: Panzer’s Rotisserie Chicken and Roasted Potatoes with Green Salad

Sometimes, the best way into the swing of home life is with a comforting classic. Our corn-fed, free-range rotisserie chicken is cured for flavour, slow roasted to golden perfection, and ready for you to take home. Try it with our roast potatoes and our delicious, house-made gravy.
To make it a complete meal, pair with a fresh Greek salad from our deli with feta, cucumber and olives or simply grab a bag of fresh salad leaves and toss with olive oil and a squeeze of lemon. We recommend Dr. Kavvadia Extra Virgin Olive Oil, for a rich, fragrant, and with just the right peppery kick to bring those greens to life.

Preparation Time: Under 15 minutes (slice, serve, dress the salads – done).
Serves 3-4 people.

Quick Meal 2: Mediterranean Mezze Platter

If you’ve never tried mezze-style dining, it’s so much more than a meal. It’s a celebration of Mediterranean culture – a leisurely way to share food, swap stories, and enjoy the simple pleasure of eating together. It’s as much about the company as it is about the flavours.
The heart of any mezze spread lies in the dips. Think of the silky smoothness of dips like house-made hummus, Greek tzatziki, San Amvrosia Avocado dip, labneh or baba ghanoush.

For a vegan lifestyle you can choose from Botanical Cuisine dips range. Add freshly roasted red pepper salad, tabouleh salad, Marinated artichokes or Greek Kalamata olives for a more satisfying meal.
Warm the pitta bread and arrange everything on a big board.

Best English Artisan Gelato Producers to Try in 2025

You might be surprised to learn just how much the British love their ice cream. Sure, the UK isn’t exactly known for endless sunshine, but that doesn’t stop people here from indulging in a scoop (or three) whenever the sun does make an appearance. In fact, when those summer heatwaves roll in – and yes, they do happen – few things hit the spot like a creamy, cold dessert.

Ice cream has that magical quality: it’s nostalgic, it’s refreshing, and it somehow never stops being exciting, no matter how old you are. There are endless flavours to try, and for many of us, it’s one of those treats we’ve loved since childhood.

But first….

Do you know the difference between ice cream and gelato?

They may look similar in the scoop, but ice cream and gelato are distinct treats with different textures, flavours, and even traditions behind them.

Ice cream is what many of us grew up with: rich, creamy, and whipped to be light and airy. It’s made with more cream (and sometimes egg yolks), then churned fast to incorporate air, which gives it that fluffy, melt-in-your-mouth texture. It’s usually served colder too, which means the flavours are a little more muted until it starts to soften.

Gelato, Italy’s answer to ice cream, takes a different approach. It uses more milk than cream and is churned slowly, resulting in a denser, silkier texture with less air. It’s served at a slightly warmer temperature, which allows the flavours to shine through with incredible intensity.

4 English Artisan Gelato You’ll Want in Your Freezer This Summer

At Panzer’s, we’re lucky to stock some of the best artisan gelato in the country, each with their own story, approach to flavour, and irresistibly good taste.
So, if you’ve got a pint of ice cream in your freezer, now is the time to grab it and settle in while you read. No ice cream at home? Don’t worry – you’ll want to head to Panzer’s after this.

This summer, we’re celebrating the creators behind the scoops. Meet four of our favourite English ice cream makers and discover how they turn cream into magic – plus a few cheeky serving ideas from us (and them).

1. Baboo Gelato

Annie and her husband, Sam were inspired to start Baboo Gelato after returning to the UK from Singapore, where they use to enjoy taking their four small children to an ice cream shop that sold delicious local flavours. Disappointed by the UK’s industrial offerings, they set out to create something exceptional using seasonal fruits from their Dorset Garden and organic milk from Somerset. Annie trained one year in Italy at the renowned Gelato University in Bologna.
Their efforts quickly paid off, winning a Champion Ice Cream award in their first year. The name Baboo is a heartfelt tribute to Annie’s Russian grandmother.

At Panzer’s, we offer a wide range of flavours to suit every taste. Some of our favourites include classic gelato, like Coffee, Hazelnut, Vanilla, Double Chocolate, and Mint Chocolate, as well as refreshing sorbets such as Mango, Elderflower, and Passionfruit. And that’s just the beginning – there’s even more to discover in store!

Top Recommendation from Sam: Mint Chocolate Chip Gelato. Recently awarded with three stars at Great Taste Awards, Mint Chocolate Chip Gelato contains only local, organic milk, black peppermint from Summerdown Farm, stracciatella and Belgian chocolate, no chemical emulsifiers or gum stabilisers.

Pair it Like a Pro
“We love it plain, we love it with sauces, we love it in a sundae or in an affogato. But for a more unusual treat we put a frozen croissant in a waffle iron until it is nice and golden, add a generous dollop of ice cream, some whipped cream, and a little chocolate sauce, and drift off to heaven “.

2. Jefferson's Ice Cream

Photo on the left: Celine & Christopher; Photo on the right: Max scooping

Jefferson’s began in Celine’s kitchen, born out of her son Aidan’s food intolerance and a mother’s determination to make something he could enjoy. However, the more they learnt about ice cream the more disappointed they became. So, her and her husband Christopher decided to leave their corporate jobs and set out to start Jefferson’s Ice Cream.

They founded Jefferson’s with a simple mission: to create feel-good moments through seriously good ice cream. Tired of overly processed options, they set out to do things differently, using British organic milk and double cream, and ingredients that were free of artificial flavours and colours. As Celine says, “We believe ice cream should be fun, nostalgic, and made with care”.

Photo Credit: Jefferson Ice Cream

Our favourites at Panzer’s include Best Chocolate Ever Ice cream, Brookies & Cream, Rockiest Road, Sea Salt Caramel, Strawberry Compote, Vanilla Honeycomb.

Top Recommendation from Celine: The Brookies & Cream “It’s the perfect balance of brownie/cookie texture with a smooth toffee creaminess that keeps people coming back for more. It really captures what we’re about: playful, comforting and just a little bit decadent”

How to Enjoy it?
“A scoop (or two) straight from the tub is always a win. But we also love it sandwiched between cookies or served on top of waffles with a drizzle of our house sauces. Ice cream should be joyful; however, you enjoy it!”

Pair it Like a Pro
Try a scoop of Strawberry Compote with a splash of prosecco. Or try their Best Chocolate Ever with a pinch of sea salt and olive oil for a rich, grown-up twist.

3. Norfolk County Artisan Ice Cream

Team: Dave-Production Assistant, Damian- General Manager and Michael-Production Supervisor

Norfolk County Ice Cream began in the mid – 80s with a simple idea: make ice cream the way you’d do it at home, using fresh cream and quality ingredients. It quickly found its place as a rich, luxurious treat for adults who appreciate pure flavour.

Chris Coughlan, the current owner, discovered Lakenham Creamery for sale in the Sunday Telegraph after returning to the UK from Nigeria. He made the leap from soap to ice cream and never looked back.

Our Favourites at Panzer’s include New York Coffee, Belgian Chocolate, Coconut & Cream, Peaches & Cream, Rich Butterscotch.
Come in store to explore even more irresistible flavours.

Top Recommendation: Norfolk County French Vanilla Ice Cream it’s made using just 5 simple ingredients: fresh cream 80%, sugar, egg yolks, skimmed milk powder and a Natural vanilla bean extract. “It’s clean, honest, and simply delicious”.

Pair it Like a Pro
Pair Norfolk County French Vanilla Ice Cream with a drizzle of Balsamic Vinegar on a bed of fresh strawberries – this dessert is a surprisingly delicious and sophisticated flavour pairing that brings together sweet, tart, creamy and tangy elements in a balanced and refreshing dessert.

4. Bears Ice Cream Imaginarium

What began as a teenage kitchen job evolved into a lifelong passion for creating exceptional ice cream. Phil, affectionately known as Mr Bear, learned to make ice cream in a restaurant where everything was made from scratch and the love for ice-cold indulgences never left him. Bored of the ice cream scene, he set out to create something more seasonal, more chef-driven, and full of imagination. The name and logo were inspired by their family nickname – they’ve always been known as” The Bears”. Phil believes ice cream should be an experience – the main event, not just an extra part to a dessert or a quick treat “Life’s too short for boring ice cream.”

Photo Credit: Bears Ice cream

Our Favourites include Apple Jazz Cinnamon Sponge, Blueberry & Lavander, Brown Butter Popcorn, Salted Toasted Pumpkin. At Panzer’s, they’re available in 450g tubs and as indulgent ice cream sandwiches – think Triple Chocolate, Lemon Meringue, Raspberry Ripple Birthday, and Strawberry & Sprinkles.

Top Recommendation from Phil: Miso, Banana & Butterscotch Pudding. It’s sweet and salty, it has chunks of sticky toffee pudding sponge in it and ripest bananas from a local supplier.

Pair it Like a Pro
Try it with a warm drizzle of chocolate or sea salt caramel or go all in by stuffing a scoop into a fresh doughnut. Why not trying one of our cinnamon & raising bagel with a scoop (or two) of Apple Jazz Cinnamon Sponge. It’s pure indulgence.

How to Cook the Perfect BBQ: Tips from Our Head Chef, Ben

Summer is here, and that means it’s time to dust off the barbecue and dig out the tongs. The long, warm evenings have arrived, perfect for gathering with friends and family, enjoying cold drinks, and filling the garden with the delicious aroma of food on the grill. Whether you’re a seasoned grill master or trying your hand at your first cookout, our chef is here to help you master how to cook the perfect BBQ.

From prep to plating, here’s everything you need to make this summer’s BBQ your best yet – with insider tips from our new head chef, Ben.

1. Start with the Right Ingredients

Even the best BBQ techniques can’t fix poor ingredients. That’s why the foundation of the perfect BBQ is quality produce.

Meat That Makes a Difference

Chef’s first rule: “Buy better, cook simpler.” Start with flavourful cuts that shine on the grill. Our top picks:

Rhug Estate Steak – Grass-fed and full of depth. Best grilled over high heat, rested well, and sliced against the grain.
Sutton Hoo Free Range Spatchcock Chicken – Cooks fast, stays juicy. Try Garlic & Herb for a milder option or Piri Piri for some heat.
Sausages – From classic Cumberland to Sicilian – style, seasoned simply with salt and black pepper or sea salt and wild fennel, these sausages bring bold, honest flavour to the grill.

Don’t forget marinades – it brings everything to life. Our shop is well stocked with a wide range of ready-made marinades and rubs, perfect for quick, flavour-packed grilling. View the whole range here.

Prefer homemade? A simple mix of olive oil, garlic, lemon, and fresh herbs never fails.

2. Prep Like a Pro

A successful BBQ isn’t just about standing by the grill – it’s about what happens before the flame even starts.

Chef’s Tip: ”Take the meat out of the fridge at least 30 minutes before grilling. Cold meat seizes and cooks unevenly. Room temperature is your friend.”

Pat meat dry with paper towels to get a good sear.
Pre-marinate your meats the night before, if possible. This locks in flavour and tenderizes tougher cuts.
Chop your veg ahead of time. Courgettes, peppers, red onions, mushrooms, and corn are grill-friendly favourites.

3. Mastering the Grill

Now for the star of the show – the flame. Whether you swear by gas or are loyal to charcoal, getting the fire right is where great BBQ begins. A few simple steps can make all the difference between average and unforgettable:

Preheat the grill properly. Give it 10–15 minutes to reach the right temperature.
Clean the grates with a brush or half an onion – yes, really! It removes old residue and prevents sticking.
Lightly oil your meat or vegetables — not the grates. This helps prevent sticking and gives you that beautiful sear without unnecessary smoke.

Know Your Heat Zones

This is one of the most important things to master: your grill doesn’t cook at the same temperature across the whole surface. Think of it like your kitchen hob: some areas are hotter than others, and that’s a good thing.

Chef’s Tip: “Don’t treat the grill like a frying pan. Use different heat zones the way a chef uses different burners. It gives you control and better results.”

Direct heat (right over the flame) is where you get that sizzle, sear, and smoky char. Perfect for thinner cuts like burgers, sausages, or steaks.

Indirect heat (off to the side or on a cooler part of the grill) for cooking thicker cuts through without burning the outside.

Time is Everything

A great BBQ isn’t just about what you put on the grill, it’s when you take it off. Timing is the difference between a nice and juicy steak and a dry disappointment.

Cooking meat over fire requires patience and instinct, but here’s a small guide to keep you on track:

-Steaks: for rare, go 2–3 minutes per side; for medium, go for 4–5 minutes.

-Sausages: Sear them first to get that golden colour, then move to indirect heat for 10–15 minutes to finish gently. This keeps them juicy and stops them from splitting.

-Bone-in Chicken: These cuts take time – don’t rush them. Use indirect heat and cook slowly until the internal temperature hits 75°C. When it comes to BBQ, patience pays off.

Chef’s Tip: “Don’t poke or press your meat too much, you’ll lose all the juices. Let it sit and do its thing.”

4. Don’t forget the Sides

The main dishes might grab the spotlight at a BBQ, but let’s be honest – it’s the sides that really round out the feast. A great BBQ isn’t complete without a few fresh, zesty extras on the table. So, while the grill takes care of the heavy lifting, we’ve pulled together some of our favourite tangy, cooling side ideas to bring balance (and a bit of crunch) to your table.

Grilled Veg: Think asparagus, mushrooms, corn, and juicy tomatoes. Brush with oil, season simply , then let the grill do the rest. See our full range here.
Charred Courgettes & Red Peppers: Quick to cook and packed with flavour, especially with a drizzle of balsamic or a squeeze of lemon.

5. Keep the Drinks Flowing

A successful grilling event isn’t just about the food; it’s about the entire experience. And a crucial part of that experience is ensuring your guests are well-hydrated and refreshed with a diverse and thoughtfully curated drinks selection.
From beers and soft drinks to fresh juices and infused waters, Panzer’s has everything you need to keep glasses full and conversations flowing. Browse the full drinks selection here.

Chef’s Final Word:

“BBQ should feel relaxed, even if there’s prep behind it. Keep the menu simple, use the best ingredients you can get your hands on, and enjoy the process. People remember the atmosphere just as much as the food.”

Ready to Grill?

Whether you’re cooking for two or twenty, the perfect BBQ is within reach. Shop our full BBQ range in-store or online — from Rhug Estate meats to marinades, buns, sauces, sides, and soft drinks. Let’s make this summer delicious.

Panzer’s Rotisserie Chicken

Panzer’s Rotisserie Chicken – A Classic Done Right

Since introducing rotisserie chicken to our deli, it’s quickly become a Panzer’s favourite – and for good reason.
There’s something nostalgic about roast chicken. It’s one of those rare foods that goes beyond cultures, generations, and seasons, a dish that brings people together. We’ve taken that tradition and given it the Panzer’s touch, with premium ingredients, meticulous preparation, and deli-scious flavour.

We believe great food doesn’t need to be complicated, just made with heart, using the best ingredients available. Is more than a new menu item, it’s a reflection of who we are and what we love to share with our community.

What Makes Our Rotisserie Chicken So Special?

Each bird is Galician, corn-fed, free-range, and cured to ensure its tender and full of flavour. We’ve perfected a dry rub recipe that gives the chicken its rich, golden glaze, while the juices drip down to slowly roast the potatoes underneath, creating the perfect accompaniment bursting with flavour.
Our rotisserie always comes with a generous portion of our house-made gravy.

Panzer's House-Made Gravy

Let’s talk about the gravy, because this isn’t just any sauce on the side. Our house-made gravy is rich, velvety, and made from scratch using a nourishing blend of ingredients including chicken, celery, onion, carrot, red and white wine, leeks, juniper berries, parsley, honey, and a careful balance of spices. That’s twelve vegetables and aromatics – nearly half your weekly veggie variety in one delicious pour. Who knew gravy could be this good for you?

Panzer's Famous Pecan Pie Recipe

Ingredients

400 g sweet shortcrust pastry
5g butter, softened
200g pecans
1 tablespoon runny honey
110g butter, softened
110g caster sugar
3 medium eggs, beaten
110g ground almonds
25g flaked almonds
Icing sugar to dust
Raspberries
Clotted cream or creme fraiche

Method

On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pastry dough into a 1 cm thick large disc then place on a parchment-lined tray & refrigerate for 30 minutes. Grease the inside of a 24 cm diameter loose bottomed fluted tart tin with the butter and line with the chilled disc of pastry. Using a fork, prick the base of the pastry case all over. Put it in the refrigerator for 20 minutes.)

Preheat the oven to 190°C fan/210°C/gas mark 6/2. Once rested, trim away excess pastry from the top edge of the tin. Cover pastry with baking parchment and fill with ceramic baking beans. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.

Meanwhile, line a baking tray with baking parchment. Mix the pecans and honev and spread them across the lined baking tray. Remove the baking beans and parchment from the pastry case and return to the oven along with the tray of pecans for a further 10 minutes. Take the tart case and nuts out of the oven and allow to cool for 10 minutes. Lower the oven temperature to 180°C fan/200°C/Gas Mark 6.

While the pastry and nuts are cooling, whisk together the butter and sugar until Pale. Gradually whisk in the eggs, then stir in the ground almonds. Pour the frangipane mixture into the pastry case. Evenly spread the pecans over the top, pushing them down into the filling, and then scatter the flaked almonds all over. Bake for 35 minutes or until the frangipane has risen and is golden in colour.

Lightly dust with icing sugar. Serve while still warm with a handful of raspberries and some clotted cream or creme fraiche on the side.

We will also be selling a limited quantity of Kelly Bronze Turkey’s so make sure to pre-order as soon as possible to secure one by getting in touch at shop@panzers.co.uk.

Produce to Cook, Eat and Enjoy this Autumn

Autumn is here, and with it, that sweet seasonal shift that symbolises change. Our greengrocer is overflowing and there’s an incomparable joy in eating what’s at its best right now, knowing it won’t be around forever. So come down, fill your baskets, and let these ingredients shape your Autumn feasts.

CHESTNUTS

Chestnut season is here, though the best ones are yet to ripen—usually mid to late October. Perfect for roasting, splitting their shells and letting the kitchen fill with that unmistakable aroma. Try folding them through wilted greens or stirring them into a chestnut and mushroom ragù.

FRESH CORN

Fresh corn still holds on for a little while longer—its bright sweetness a reminder of summer’s warmth. Char the kernels over a flame, toss with chilli, butter, and a squeeze of lime. There’s something joyful about corn on an October table, a vibrant holdout against the cold.

ARTICHOKES

Artichokes are back, and what a sight they are: delicate yet sturdy, a vegetable that rewards patience. Steam them whole, pulling apart petal by petal, each dip into vinaigrette a slow, sensory pleasure. The hearts, tender and sweet, make a perfect addition to an autumn stew or a light, lemony pasta.

WINTER TOMATOES

Winter tomatoes—yes, they do exist, and they have something to say. Smaller, denser, and thicker skinned than their summer cousins, winter tomatoes are perfect for slow-cooking. Roast them low and slow, let their flavors intensify. Pile them onto toast with olive oil and a sprinkling of salt, or cook them down into a rich sauce that will bring brightness to the darker days.

PUMPKINS & SQUASH

Then there are the pumpkins and squash—symbols of the season, from golden orbs to knobbly, crooked beauties. Roast them until their edges caramelise, bring them into soups, bake them into cakes. They give body and sweetness, a comforting depth that carries through whatever you cook. A pumpkin risotto, perhaps, or a velvety squash purée to serve alongside something roasted.

Other seasonal produce to look out for this month:

Brogdale Apples, Aubergine, Basil, Beetroot, Broccoli, Blackberries, Cavolo Nero, Cabbage, Celeriac, Chicory, Damsons, Elderberries, Figs, Greengages, Kaki, Mirabelles, Leeks, Plums, Pumpkin, Runner Beans, Squash, Sweetcorn, Swiss Chard, Winter Tomatoes, Turnips, Wild Mushrooms.

Celebrating Tradition, Taste, and Thoughtful Gifting at Rosh Hashanah

Days left to order for Rosh Hashanah delivery

The Jewish New Year falls on Thursday 3rd October this year, with celebrations beginning the evening before. The table is set, the candles are lit, and as the evening of 2nd October arrives, we welcome in the New Year with an embrace of sweet, symbolic flavours.

At Panzer’s, every product we prepare or source for Rosh Hashanah carries with it not just taste but a story steeped in tradition. This is a time of reflection, renewal, and community, and what better way to express it than through the art of gifting.

The Round Challah | The cycle of life

Baked round to remind us of life’s continuous cycle, its golden crust signals the start of something new. We bake each challah with care, in our off-site bakery. Delivered fresh every morning, this beautiful bread is ready to take center stage at your Rosh Hashanah feast.

Honey Cake | For a sweet new year

Ah, the honey cake. Sticky, rich, and spiced just so. This isn’t your everyday treat – this is a cake that holds four generations of Panzer’s history within its crumb. Our recipe, a closely guarded secret, ensures that each slice is moist and light, a perfect sweet to welcome a sweet new year.

Apples | Hardy and resilient, yet tender within

A symbol of the Jewish people’s perseverance, apples are the perfect metaphor for Rosh Hashanah. With over ten varieties, from Brodale’s finest and crisp Granny Smiths to fragrant Cox and sweet Golden Delicious, there’s something for every taste.

Pomegranate | Seeds of Righteousness

The pomegranate, with its deep ruby seeds, carries a powerful message. It is said to have 613 seeds, one for each of the commandments in the Torah. Gifting a pomegranate isn’t just about giving fruit—it’s about passing on blessings, an acknowledgment of the year that has been and a wish for prosperity in the year to come. Whether as part of a Panzer’s fruit basket or tucked into a Rosh Hashanah hamper, the pomegranate is as meaningful as it is beautiful.

Hampers & Fruit Baskets | Perfect Gifts

There’s a particular joy in giving something that feels curated, thoughtful, and rooted in tradition. Panzer’s Rosh Hashanah hampers and fruit baskets are just that. Filled with all the essentials—from challah and honey cake to pomegranates and artisanal honey—each hamper is a celebration in a box. Whether you’re thanking a host, gifting a loved one, or marking the season with something special, these are gifts that capture the spirit of Rosh Hashanah.

Honey | For the sweetest of new years

At Panzer’s, we’re proud to stock an incredible range of honeys, each with its own story and flavour. Our Panzer’s own brand honey is made in collaboration with a family-run farm in Lithuania that’s organic and pesticide-free. It’s pure, unfiltered perfection, with a taste that’s as rich in quality as it is in tradition. Beyond that, our shelves are filled with jars from independent producers around the world.
