Emma Holden, marketing controller at Country Range, said: “We’re always looking for ways to improve our offering and to help make it easier for caterers to serve quality products that their customers will love.

“We expect them to be a big hit as afternoon tea continues to be an incredibly popular dining occasion, whether that is eating out of home or where customers purchase a delivered box to celebrate an occasion at home.

“Consumers will also be looking for smaller treat occasions such as a delicious sweet treat alongside a coffee, and our new dessert selections are perfect for that market too.”

Care caterers can provide a small dessert slice with a hot beverage as a snack for residents during the day. This is also a good opportunity to promote social interaction and increase the intake of fluid and essential calories.
