I must firstly apologise for the amount of time it has taken me to provide a review of this book, my health was rather bad for quite some time, something that had me in hospital on numerous occasions and simply didnt leave me with the time I once had to do what I love most.

Unfortunately that does mean I have missed the archive date for many of these books, so It would feel unjust throwing any review together without being able to pay attention to each novel properly.

However, I am now back to reading as before and look forward to sharing my honest reviews as always going forward. I thank you f0r the patience and understanding throughout x

A great book of short stories set around the beach huts at Everdene with recipes for everything from breakfast and picnics to something a bit more special and a little taste of Veronica Henry’s life. A perfect comfort read ideal for those snatched moments where there isn’t enough time to immerse yourself in a new book

Lovely feel good book to read. It was a joy to read. Lovely characters. Great plot. The book was charming. Very well written. I’d definitely recommend this book. Beautiful setting sets the tone of this lovely read

I am a big Veronica Henry fan and especially the Beach Hut books. I was looking forward to this and although its an easy read with 8 short stories its slightly heavy on the recipe side, still an enjoyable read

Such an easy summer read.
I love Veronica Henry she is a go to when I need a bit of romance and secrets.
This book is so lovely I read this in the garden in the sunshine and I felt like I was at the beach hut enjoying the sound of the sea and the sand beneath my feet.

I have loved all of Veronica Henry's beach hut series and this collection of short stories was no exception. Interspersed between the stories are  recipes of the delicious and tempting food  featured, which is a great addition.

I also loved the anecdotes and favourite lists which the author has added between the stories. These insightful chapters help you really get to know Veronica Henry and her love of the sea, good food and, of course, writing.

This book would make a great introduction to the charming and nostalgic beach huts of Everdene.  Pop it in your beach bag or just relax at home and get swept away to experience the simple but uplifting pleasures of summer by the sea.

Thank you Orion via NetGalley for a copy of the book, which I have reviewed honestly.

This book comprises a series of short stories which all revolve around the beach huts at Everdene.
This is a lovely easy holiday read , the sort of book which can be picked up and put down !
The addition of recipes is a fun idea
An entertaining book which I would recommend
Thank you to Netgalley, Orion and Veronica Henry for letting me read this book in exchange for an honest review

I hadn’t realised initially that this was a collection of short stories and recipes but it didn’t disappoint. Centred around the beach hut of the novels the stories revisits some old characters as well as interesting new ones. Interspersed with delicious recipes (a few of which I’ve tried) this is an easy read for a lazy Sunday afternoon

This was a wonderful trip back to the Beach huts, revisiting characters over the course of a day. There are decisions to be made, life choices to consider and just general joy being by the coast. Recipes are threaded throughout the book and I must buy a paperback copy for my bookshelves so that I can look through them all again.
This is a collection of short catch ups with everyone and can be read as a standalone- but this is a wonderful series It also contains lists of summer essentials- movies, playlists, board games etc

I've read one of the beach hut book series based at Everdene before and several others by Veronica Henry and have enjoyed all so far and this was no exception. I will definitely read more. I believe all are based on different people so can be read in any order as stand alone books.

This was a little different however as is a collection of short stories and recipes. I really enjoyed each of the short stories and the way they were interwoven with a mix of recipes and chat from the author, giving you a little insight into her life, was really interesting.

I would definately buy this book to read the short stories, but not if I wanted a recipe book, (although some sound delicious) I think pictures of the dishes should be included if this is to be a sales point. and it is a very quick read, but very enjoyable read.

Thanks to Orion Publishing group for the opportunity to read this book.

I really enjoyed reading this book. The Costal setting of Everdene is the same location of Veronica Henry's Beach Hut series. This is a standalone book and you don't need to gave read the other books to enjoy this one.
This book is made up of short stories which all revolve around the Beach Huts. In between the stories are recipes, some feature in the book, other recipes are ones that you could eat as picnic food, or an easy meal.
If you have read the previous books then you will recognise some of the characters as they feature in some of these stories.
There are a lot of new and varied characters and they all have different reasons for visiting the Beach Huts.
This is a lovely easy Holiday read, heartwarming and uplifting. I love the setting and I really want to have a beach hut just like the ones in the book.I liked addition of the recipes and I will definitely try some of them.
I really hope that there are more books that are set in the Beach Huts, they are such excellent stories.
Thank you to Netgalley and the Publisher for my ARC.

In a change to Veronica Henry's usual novels, this is a collection of short stories and recipes, all centred around the beach huts which feature in the other books. It's great for dipping in and out, and picking up some great culinary tips along the way!

I have read and enjoyed all of the Beach Hut series of stories from Veronica Henry. I love the seaside, and these books always manage to transport me to a sandy beach with the sound of the waves in the background. I was intrigued to find that this new offering is slightly different in that it contains a series of short stories centred on the beach huts featured in the earlier books plus some recipes and some recollections of the author’s experiences on visits to the seaside.



The book progresses through a whole day on the beach, from breakfast time to evening, with reminiscences, a short story and several recipes related to the story at each stage. The stories are set in the fictional seaside town of Everdene, with its row of colourful beach huts which feature in all of the Beach Hut series. Several characters appear in more than one story, bringing the book together nicely. The recipes include breakfast dishes, picnic food, treats and snacks, a birthday banquet (also with party playlist), seafood suppers, family favourites, and a romantic dinner for two. There are even lists of Veronica’s 10 classic beach reads, her 10 best beach hut board games, her top 10 beach movies and top 10 favourite ice creams.



I have very much enjoyed reading this book. It contains all you need for a day at the beach or a stay in a colourful beach hut. The stories are varied in content, but all equally entertaining. I liked that fact that the same character might crop up in more than one story and I was very jealous that most of them had the opportunity to stay in one of the cosy little huts. Veronica’s tales of her visits to the beach are a nice addition to the book. The recipes sound absolutely delicious; I have already tried out the banana pancakes, which were easy to prepare and made a lovely brunch. I would recommend this book; whether you buy it as a work of fiction or a recipe book, I’m sure you will not be disappointed.

A fabulous mix of short stories and delicious sounding recipes. I loved how the stories linked with each other too.

I will be treating myself to the paperback (and for friends too)

This was a different book, wasn't sure what I was expecting.
It's more like a recipe book with some short stories added in, I did look through the recipes but I don't like cooking so they didn't really hold much interest for me although anyone who likes to cook will probably love them. Did like the short stories though

This was an unusual hotchpotch of more wonderful beach hut stories from Everdene (including a catch up with an old favourite) as well as a view into what Veronica Henry loves about the beach including many recipes she associates with it and why. Being mostly a fiction fan I really enjoyed the stories and the tenuous way they linked tighter but obviously I would have loved if there were even more! Some of the recipes appealed and some I just skimmed through however Veronica did a great job of linking everything and really putting herself into the book.

Loved these short stories. Loved the recipes. Loved the little chats between chapters.
Be aware that this is a short collection, but if like me, you love the Beach Hut series, it is a great little read..

Each chapter is dedicated to a meal: breakfast, picnic food , treats and snacks for example. Each meal has a story based around Everdene Sands Beach huts and a stack of recipes to try at home.. My favourite being Ginger scones, a twist on the traditional.

This was like returning to an old friend or recurring holiday destination and finding some things had changed, but it still felt good.

A Day at the Beach Hut is a lovely collection of short stories centred around the beach huts in Everdene. The stories are well written with some endearing characters that make you feel all warm and cosy inside. Alongside these are a collection of delicious sounding recipes. Thank you to NetGalley, Orion and the author for the chance to review.

This was a delightful little read, and would be the perfect addition to any beach bag! (Or bedside table, the way our lovely British weather has been thus far in May!)
I really enjoyed the way that Veronica Henry interspersed her short stories with recipes and real life anecdotes about her own family, and the way these characters' lives were interwoven at the end.
I particularly thought the way she wrote about The Influencer and her Insta life was quite poignant and hope that it impacts others in the way that made me thought about how I portray my life and kids on social media!
Made me crave all those sea side treats and long for lazy summer days at the beach, munching on fish and chips and ice cream, heading back to the cabin for sundowners and making smores by the campfire.
Thanks to the the author, the publisher and Netgalley for providing a slice of summer sunshine in book form in exchange for an honest review :)

An enjoyable quick read.

This book has a LOT of recipes, with very short stories interspersed. I'm not really a cook so skipped over the recipes, but I loved the short stories set around the Everdene beach huts, as the previous books in this series.

I just wish there had been more of the short stories and not so many recipes and anecdotes. I did like the way the short stories all linked together by the end though, very satisfying! I would have loved a full book about most of the characters, but especially Caroline and Radar.

A very summer-feeling, easy-reading, book.
