The school summer holidays are here, which means more time with the kids… and more “Muuum, I’m hungry!” moments throughout the day.
One way to keep them fuelled and entertained? Get them involved in the kitchen. We’ve rounded up a few fun, family-friendly meal ideas using our butcher’s favourites that are perfect for getting kids stuck in with prepping, building, and (of course) eating.
Kids love getting creative, and burgers are the perfect blank canvas.
What you’ll need:
Set up a “burger station” and let everyone build their own dream stack. You can even shape your own mini patties using our lean steak mince for a DIY twist!
This one’s ideal for picky eaters, they choose exactly what goes on their own pizza.
Get creative with:
Let kids spoon on the sauce, sprinkle the cheese, and decorate with their toppings of choice. Bake for 10 mins until golden and bubbling.
Perfect for BBQ days or a quick air fryer meal, skewers are great for small hands and big imaginations.
You’ll need:
Let the kids build their own combos, drizzle with oil or marinade, and pop them on the grill or in the oven.
Tasty, easy, and no cutlery required. Let kids fill their own tortilla wraps with their choice of ingredients.
Top picks include:
Add some tortilla chips or fruit on the side, and you’ve got a lunch they’ll actually finish.
To make summer mealtimes even simpler, grab one of our Meat Packs. These are perfect for feeding families, offering variety, convenience, and value.
📦 Choose from:
Stock the fridge and freezer, then mix and match for quick weekday meals or spontaneous weekend cook-outs.
Kids seem to snack endlessly during the summer, but getting them involved in helping with meals makes them more likely to eat properly at mealtimes. These ideas aren’t just fun, they’re filling, wholesome, and a great way to use butcher-quality ingredients in a way the whole family will enjoy.
Whether it’s a build-your-own pizza night, a burger off on the BBQ, or getting creative with skewers, summer meals can be easy and exciting, without the fuss.
