Summer and Hot Days: Enjoying the Sunshine with Delicious Food from Black Mountains Smokery

Summer and Hot Days: The Season for Outdoor Living and Great Food

Hot summer days are all about making memories – relaxing in the garden, family gatherings, camping adventures, and beach picnics. Long evenings, bright sunshine, clear skies, and a relaxed atmosphere make summer one of the most enjoyable seasons of the year – practically encouraging us to spend more time outdoors.

Of course, no summer gathering is complete without great food. Whether you are planning a picnic, or preparing a light lunch in the garden, quality ingredients make all the difference. That’s where Black Mountains Smokery comes in.

We believe summer and hot days should be accompanied by exceptional food that is full of flavour, easy to enjoy, and perfect for sharing.

Why Smoked Food is Perfect for Hot Summer Days

One of the greatest pleasures of summer is eating outside, and smoked meats are an ideal ingredient for summer dining. Smoked food is quick to prepare and versatile, enjoyed in light lunches, sharing platters, salads, sandwiches, or even gourmet barbecue spreads.

And when the day is too hot for hot food? Smoked foods can be enjoyed cool or at room temperature without losing their rich flavour. Our smoked meats are smoked using traditional Welsh methods that complement the flavour profile of a summertime meal or a weekend barbecue with friends.

Try Smoked Trout or Salmon on your Summer Picnic

Summer and hot days are the perfect excuse to pack a picnic and enjoy the great outdoors. A simple picnic can become something special when you include quality smoked products.

Our smoked salmon is ideal for summer picnics. Serve it with fresh bread or bagels, cream cheese, and crisp salad leaves for a light and refreshing meal. Oak Smoked salmon can also be added to enhance wraps, bagels,  pasta salads, or the smoky topping of a warm pastry.

Our smoked trout is another excellent choice for sunny days. Delicate, flavourful, and easy to serve, smoked trout pairs beautifully with seasonal salads and fresh vegetables.

Adding Black Mountains Smokery products to your picnic basket allows you to enjoy restaurant-quality food wherever your summer adventures take you.

Top A BBQ Burger With Smoked Chicken or Duck

Hot summer days often mean one thing: barbecue season has arrived! Smoked meats as a tasty side to your sausages or the perfect fold-in for your burger are sure to please and provide guests with something a little different.

Our smoked chicken offers a delicious and convenient alternative to deli chicken slices. Fry some bacon and wrap it up in a delicious burger, or use it to top a taco. But if you’re looking for something really different,, smoked duck delivers rich flavour and makes an impressive addition to any summer table. Serve it sliced with fresh leaves, seasonal fruits, and artisan breads for a memorable outdoor feast.

For those looking to create an impressive grazing board, Black Mountains Smokery products work beautifully alongside cheeses, olives, crackers, and chutneys.

Stay Cool With A Smoked Charcuterie

For those looking to create an impressive grazing board on a scorching hot day, smoked food is a must for your charcuterie. Smoked duck breast, chicken, salmon and trout work wonders paired with cheeses, olives, crackers, and chutneys. Don’t forget about Black Mountains Smokery’s signature smoked cheeses!

Cool, light meals are a lot more appealing when it’s too hot for a BBQ, and with smoked meat you don’t have to sacrifice that smoky flavour from your menu. Try mixing your cold-smoked food with Black Mountains Smokery’s top suggestions:

• Salads – Mixed leaf, cucumber, pasta, tomato, potato… 
• Artisan breads topped with herbs
• Sandwiches and wraps
• Seasonal berries
• Or just a citrus dressing and cool rice

These simple combinations create nutritious and satisfying meals that are ideal for hot summer days.

Summer Entertaining Made Easy

The best quality of smoked food is that you can create quick and impressive dishes with little to no prep or cooking. Prepare an oak-smoked salmon platter for lunch, serve smoked trout with fresh salad, or throw together a cheeseboard featuring our smoked meats and Welsh cheese as accompaniments.
