There’s always reason to celebrate summer – whether you enjoy a BBQ on the beach, a picnic in the garden or a game of Frisbee in the park. And your Society has everything you need.

Our colleagues love celebrating summer. Here Carlos Aries, meat and fish counter supervisor at Grand Marché St Helier, shares what he loves about the summer months.

What does summer mean to you?

I’m originally from Portugal and my culture is all about preparing nice food. During the summer months in Jersey I get together with my partner and our friends and we prepare a nice joint of meat on an open fire. I have a barrel which I turned into a spit. We get together as many times as we can to eat and socialise.

What’s your favourite summer food and drink and why?

My favourite thing to eat in the warm months is fresh shellfish with a nice glass of French white wine. I like the Portuguese wine too but French white is my favourite.
