The Easter weekend has barely passed, having brought the promise of time off, fun and chocolate galore – and didn’t we deserve it? After months of long nights and rainy days, we’re finally being treated to the sound of birds chirping and of course, the promise of a guilt-free long weekend filled with chocolatey cheer.
At Quattro Foods we are getting into the swing of spring and our kitchen was certainly geared up for Easter with festive cheer. This is the time of year when our eager chefs start planning and creating a range of sweet and savoury fresh and ready-to-use products to satisfy our customers’ seasonal needs.
Easter full of cheer? We think so!
Quick reality check: the cost-of-living crisis is still raging, so are people really going to spend their hard-earned and much-needed cash on sweet luxuries? We saw evidence at Christmas that even in the toughest financial times, people continue to spend on food and drink, prioritising the invaluable experience of eating together over spending frivolously on gifts, clothes, tech and other luxuries that offer no lasting joy. And quite rightly so, in our humble opinion. There’s nothing quite like making memories and enjoying a tasty, hearty Easter lunch together. And it’s not just the eating that’s fun, the prep can also provide magical family moments (as long as everyone pitches in with the tidy-up!)
Easter is about more than just chocolate eggs. When times are tough, homecooked food is considered an ‘affordable’ treat. So yes, despite a rise in food and energy costs people still spend on food.
Easter, food and family are a big deal for us at Quattro Foods, and as a business we thrive on creating menus for the big day, full of fresh produce, colourful locally grown veg and amazing quality locally farmed meat from free-range farms with high welfare standards.
Quality time, quality food
We agree that being together for family meals trumps everything and we know that our customers feel the same. And Easter is not just about family time, it’s a period when businesses can thrive and we’re working hard in our state-of-the-art nut-free kitchens to make Easter a fulfilling and successful period for us and most importantly, for our customers.
