Picnic Food Ideas 2024 Published on 03/07/2024 Updated on 03/07/2024
There's nothing quite like a delightful picnic to make the most of a beautiful day. Whether you're planning a romantic outing for two or a lively gathering with family and friends, the key to a successful picnic lies in the food. At Regency Hampers, we understand the importance of curating the perfect picnic hamper spread. Essential Picnic Foods When it comes to picnic essentials, certain dishes simply can't be overlooked. A crusty baguette or a selection of artisan rolls is a must-have for any picnic basket. Pair them with an assortment of fine cheeses, such as a creamy Brie like the Simon Weaver Organic Cotswold Brie found in our luxurious Cranfield Fitted Picnic Hamper, or a tangy vintage mature Cheddar like the Wainwright's Choice Vintage Mature Cheddar Waxed Truckle. Charcuterie is another picnic staple, offering a variety of cured meats like the premium Severn & Wye Smoked Salmon included in both the Cranfield and our Badminton Fitted Picnic hampers. Don't forget to include a mix of fresh, seasonal fruits and vegetables to add colour and nutrients to your spread, such as the crisp apples, ripe cherry tomatoes, and juicy grapes thoughtfully packed in the Badminton hamper. Delicious Dips and Spreads Elevate your picnic with a selection of gourmet dips and spreads. The Sabra Houmous Extra in the Badminton hamper is a delightful twist on the classic chickpea and tahini dip. Pair it with the oregano-infused Crosta & Mollica Crostini for a Mediterranean-inspired treat. For a quintessentially British touch, the Claire's Handmade Red Onion Marmalade in the Cranfield hamper pairs exquisitely with the Stockan's Orkney Oatcakes and the assortment of fine cheeses. Sweet Treats for a Perfect Picnic No picnic is complete without a selection of indulgent sweet treats. The Cranfield hamper boasts an array of delectable desserts, from the Short & Sweet Original English Shortbread to the decadent Lindt Swiss Luxury Chocolate Selection. For a truly British indulgence, the Cotswold Gourmet Steamed Lemon Pudding is a must-try. The Badminton hamper offers a delightful twist on classic picnic sweets with the Border Biscuits Strawberry Drizzle Melts and the irresistible Lindt Lindor Milk Chocolate Truffles. Refreshing Drinks for Picnics To accompany your delectable picnic spread, be sure to pack a variety of refreshing beverages. The Badminton hamper includes a chilled bottle of Paul Langier Brut Champagne, adding a touch of luxury to your outdoor dining experience. For a non-alcoholic option, both hampers feature the delightfully effervescent Belvoir Organic Elderflower Sparkling Pressé, a great drink of choice for a warm summer's day. The Cranfield hamper also includes the Belvoir Sparkling Elderflower & Rose Pressé for a delicately floral refreshing taste. Packing the Perfect Picnic Hamper To ensure your picnic is a success, it's essential to pack your hamper with care. At Regency Hampers, our picnic hampers are thoughtfully curated to include everything you need for a memorable outdoor dining experience. The Cranfield and Badminton hampers are both presented in hand-made, four-person willow picnic baskets, complete with place settings and a protective cardboard outer for safe transport. All you need to do is choose your perfect spot, unpack your hamper, and enjoy the delights within. Personalised Picnic Hampers At Regency Hampers, we understand that every picnic is unique. That's why we offer a bespoke service, allowing you to create your own personalised picnic hamper or customise one of our existing hampers to suit your preferences.
