The Home of Picky Bits

When the temperature rises, who wants to spend ages cooking when there's spontaneous post-work picnics in the park or dinners in the garden to be enjoyed? At M&S, we're proud to be the home of picky bits. After declaring the first official National Picky Bits Day, we're keeping the summer of grazing going with a spread of delicious new Hot Picky Bits and antipasti platters landing in the Foodhall.

Try these ideas:

• A Spanish tapas night feast, featuring 'Nduja King Prawn Skewers, new Salsa Verde Chickpeas, and Collection Extra Virgin Olive Oil Crisps topped with Ibérico ham.

• Mezze picky bits, with a spread of Grilled Turkish Domat Olives, sweet Sunburst Peppers and Mozzarella with Calabrian Chilli.

From sizzling Spanish-inspired tapas to Greek-style sharing feasts, we've made our iconic picky bits range even more iconic with some must-try new additions to our Foodhall. Discover them all and get set to graze...

When it comes to assembling your perfect picky tea, there are no rules – except that you should choose foods you love which deliver on flavour without the fuss! Think buttery sausage rolls and cocktail sausages; creamy dips with crunchy crisps for dunking and vibrant salads. Lean into Mediterranean flavours with some antipasti (hello, Flame-seared Red and Yellow Peppers, cured meats, Roasted Red Pepper Tortilla and Serrano Ham Tapas Bites) or go traditional with a pork pie (don't miss our new mini Coronation Chicken Pies in store this summer) or a Ploughman's Pot with a crusty baguette. Go as complicated or as simple as you like – this is about taking the stress out of dinner. And don't forget the cocktail cans.

Whether you call it girl dinner, picky tea, party tea, or picky bits, we're talking about a delicious combination of easy-to-prepare ingredients you can put together easily. At M&S we're the only destination for flavour-packed picky bits you won't find anywhere else. Pop to the Foodhall to grab your faves, pile everything up onto a grazing board, or roll out the picnic rug and head to the park.

Head to the park and pack a picnic grazing board to remember.
