A summer weekend lunch gathering is so gloriously lazy. You start at lunchtime and, somehow, it’s evening before anyone mentions it. All you need is a long table (even if a tad rickety, but ideally laid with our Strawberries Table Runner and Strawberries Medium Dinner Plates, 8.5 Inch), mismatched chairs, a few vases of wild flowers and for every guest to bring a sharing platter. Our summer plates, so richly decorated with strawberries, are a great size for letting guests get on with helping themselves and deciding on seconds or ‘just a bit more of that’. This is entertaining at its best: low pressure, high pleasure.
