The Ultimate Picnic Selection
With the weather now looking like summer is finally here…(well it’s making an effort) What better time than now, to grab your chance at some alfresco eating and enjoy a great British picnic.😋
It really doesn't matter where you choose to picnic, pack up a blanket, tablecloth or even a few old jumpers, just so you’ve got something to sit on.
Park, beach, garden, moors...if it rains - the car is just fine too! And if the weather doesn’t want to cooperate, an inside picnic can be a great substitute. Just spread a blanket out on the floor and enjoy a simple meal!
Sausage rolls and pork pies are part of the Great British picnic. Our Chunki sausage rolls are ideal for anyone, perfect to cut into 3 or 4 for little people. Made with real sausage meat and sulphite free, wrapped in our buttery, ruff puff pastry, so you can be sure your feeding the family real food!
Our pork pies (we call them our Squealers😉) are the real deal too! Proper hot water pastry, great British pork meat, subtle seasoned a real delight, serve it with a dollop of your favourite chutney.
What to take? Well that’s where we can help, as we’ve got two totally awesome collections to help you pack the ultimate picnic. Something for everyone….
With International Picnic Day just around the corner (Friday June 18th) it’s the perfect time to get that picnic basket ready and celebrate International Picnic Day.
