Coles is bringing back the lost art of spontaneous summer entertaining with the launch of the new Curtis Stone Summer Entertaining range.
The exclusive eight-piece collectables range offers practical and stylish kitchen and serving essentials that customers can pick up, just by doing their regular shop.
Supporting spontaneous gatherings
As busy calendars make catching up harder, new research by Coles reveals Australians are craving spontaneous get-togethers, with a third (33%) saying they would like to be more spontaneous this summer, including hosting or attending last-minute dinner parties.
While the appetite is there, the reality tells a different story, with just 30% of Australians hosting a last-minute dinner party across August (Coles Circle. 2 Sept – 8 Sept, 2026).
Coles Ambassador and Michelin-starred chef Curtis Stone said memory-making entertaining does not need to be perfectly planned.
“I love a beautiful dinner party, but some of my favourite meals are the ones that come together on the fly. Good food, a few people you love and a relaxed table are really all you need,” he said.
Collectibles range
Mr Stone designed the new collectibles range to make preparing, cooking and serving food for family and friends feel simple.
The new Curtis Stone Summer Entertaining range has eight versatile pieces spanning food preparation, cooking and serving. They’re said to be made for real Australian summer occasions, taking customers from casual lunches and impromptu dinners through to family gatherings and festive celebrations.
From oil pourers to grill presses and air fryers, each piece has been curated to combine everyday practicality with a premium look and feel, helping customers get the table ready without weeks of planning.
