Your Lunch Matters

With hybrid working now a regular part of life, lunchtime habits have shifted. Some days we’re at home, other days we’re back in the office, but no matter where we are, we all want lunches that feel fresh and enjoyable. Premium sandwich shops are on the rise, but eating out every day isn’t always an option. Many of us are looking for ways to bring that same deli-style quality into our own kitchens (and lunchboxes), without stretching the budget.

At Hovis, we know how important a good, enjoyable lunch is, that’s why we’ve created some easy, fuss-free recipes using our new Hovis® rolls. They’re designed to make it simple to create delicious sandwiches at home, whether you're prepping ahead for a busy day in the office or taking a quick lunch break at your home.

Here are four of our favourite lunch ideas to get you started. Simple to make, full of flavour, and perfect for busy days, they might just change the way you feel about lunchtime.

1. Coronation Chicken on Hovis® Protein Sunflower & Honey Sub Rolls This is a lunch to get excited about. Our Coronation Chicken recipe is all about flavour and texture, golden, creamy and full of character. We’ve used our Hovis® Sunflower & Honey Protein Sub Rolls, crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside. The sunflower seeds add bite, and the honey gives that gentle hint of sweetness. The filling is a blend of tender chicken in a rich coronation sauce, with a touch of sweet chutney and juicy sultanas. This recipe is a proper lunchtime treat for a little lift in the middle of your day.

2. Spicy Prawns with Avocado, Lettuce & Spring Onions There’s something so refreshing about a flavour-packed lunch on a chilly day. This one’s vibrant with its mix of spicy sriracha mayo prawns, creamy avocado, crisp lettuce and a sprinkle of spring onions. The balance of the ingredients  brings that little taste of summer back to your lunch break.

We’ve used our Hovis® Cheese & Herb Sub Rolls, soft, golden, and with just the right hint of herby flavour to bring everything together.

A great one to enjoy al fresco, or whenever you need a sunny pick-me-up in sandwich form.

3. Meatball Sub with Tomato Sauce, Basil, and Cheese For those craving a heartier lunch with a love for Italian flavours and cheese, this sub delivers all the tastiness you’re looking for. Cheesy and irresistible, our Meatball Sub is the ultimate indulgence. Juicy beef meatballs simmered in a rich tomato sauce are nestled inside a soft Hovis Buttermilk Sub Roll. These Hovis® Sub Rolls have a subtle buttermilk flavour that adds a creamy, slightly sweet depth, perfectly balancing the savoury filling.

4. Mozzarella, Pesto & Avocado Sub For a lunch that's both fresh and indulgent, this sub is a true Mediterranean escape you won’t want to miss. Experience a delicious harmony of flavours with creamy, soft mozzarella, vibrant green pesto, and smooth, fresh avocado. All these fresh and flavour-packed ingredients are layered inside a soft, perfectly toasted sub roll. This lunch is ideal for those midday moments when you want something deliciously indulgent yet perfectly portioned.

Because at Hovis, we believe lunch should feel like a little moment of joy.
