Best food for watching tennis

Nothing beats strawberries and cream within reach, paired with something chilled to sip on while watching the tennis this summer. Whether you’re out in the garden, packing up a picnic or settling in on the sofa, these summer-ready recipes and standout picks make entertaining feel effortless – fresh, shareable and full of flavour.

Serve up standout sips for match day with fruit-led pours made for enjoying between sets.

A vibrant flip-and-dip board makes sharing simple — just arrange and let everyone tuck in. Ready-made dips bring bold flavour without the prep. Choose creamy red pepper and yoghurt with a gentle kick, or a basil dip finished with herbs and a garlicky drizzle. Simply open and serve. Pair with crisp crudités, Collection Extra Virgin Olive Oil Crisps for added crunch, and warm flatbreads for easy dipping and scooping.
