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.

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.
