Foodservice supplier Brakes has expanded its portfolio of mini savoury buffet items, with seven new canapés developed as a twist on traditional British recipes. Varieties include Brakes Mini Cottage Pie, a shortcrust pastry case filled with minced beef and onion gravy, topped with a rosette of Cheddar and chive mash.

Also available are Mini Steak, Stilton & Whisky Rostis and Mini Smoked Salmon Bagels, as well as Mini Cobblers - light and savoury scones, filled with cheese plus smoked bacon and egg or devilled smoked salmon in a creamy sauce with a pinch of cayenne sauce.

They are ready to bake from frozen in 12 minutes and are available in packs of 48.
