The British summer season is a calendar of unforgettable occasions, Henley Royal Regatta (30 June–5 July 2026), The Championships at Wimbledon (29 June–12 July), the Goodwood Festival of Speed (9–12 July) and Glorious Goodwood (28 July–1 August). Whether you’re hosting at home or raising a glass to the tennis, caviar is the effortless way to make summer entertaining feel special.
Entertaining at home during the season
Caviar is perfect for relaxed summer hosting because it needs no cooking and very little fuss. Serve it well chilled ideally on a bed of crushed ice in warm weather with blinis, crème fraîche and a mother-of-pearl spoon, and let guests help themselves. Allow 30–50g per person, or around 5g per canapé.
