The best picnic ideas for the summer
With long, sun-soaked days stretching into balmy evenings, summer is the perfect time to slow down and savour life's simple pleasures. It's the time of year when gardens burst into bloom, berries are at their sweetest and every glimpse of sunshine feels like an invitation to step outside.
Whether it's a leisurely lunch on the lawn, an afternoon spent exploring the countryside, or a relaxed catch-up with friends that drifts into the evening, summer invites us to pause, connect and make memories together. And what better way to embrace the season than with a picnic? There's something wonderfully effortless about spreading out a blanket, unpacking a basket full of delicious treats and enjoying good food in the great outdoors. Whether you're heading to a local park, spending the afternoon in the garden, celebrating with friends, or gathering the family for a day in the sunshine, food is at the heart of every memorable al fresco occasion. The secret to a truly perfect picnic lies in choosing a mix of savoury and sweet favourites that are made for sharing, easy to enjoy, and guaranteed to make those long summer days even more delicious.
To help inspire your next outdoor feast, we've gathered some of our favourite picnic essentials.
Start with Savoury Favourites
A great picnic calls for a tempting selection of savoury treats that can be enjoyed straight from the basket.
Bread Selection
No picnic is complete without freshly baked bread. Pair with chutneys, cheeses, and savoury snacks for effortless outdoor dining.
Beer Fruit Chutney, Tomato Chutney & Onion Chutney
Bring extra flavour to your picnic with our handcrafted chutneys. Perfect served alongside bread, cheese, and savoury bakes, they add a delicious finishing touch to every bite.
Cheddar Cheese & Chilli Snaps
Crisp, crunchy and packed with flavour, these savoury snaps offer a gentle kick of chilli balanced by rich cheddar cheese.

Sriracha & Parmigiano Nibbles
For those who enjoy a little spice, these moreish nibbles combine the savoury richness of Parmigiano with a subtle sriracha warmth.
