No more soggy sandwiches: You can now get picnics delivered to the park

The days of packing a picnic, only to get to the park and discover your sarnies are either squashed or soggy from a leaking water bottle, are over.

Now, it’s goodbye DIY and hello delivery.

That’s right, food and drink kits can now be delivered as you sit soaking up the rays outside.

Check out the list below, created by our trusty pals over at TimeOut, who have collated the best posh picnics to tickle your taste-buds as the summer months come out to play.  

Get Stuft

With a meat and cheese, vegetarian, and vegan option, everyone will be ‘stuft’ once you’ve delved into one of these divine sharing boxes.

Exploding with seasonal fruit and veg, quirky hummus flavours, and chutney galore, these seriously good platters will get you in the mood for lockdown freedom.

SUPPER London

Coined ‘the poshest of all the delivery platforms’, SUPPER London is a cut above the rest due to the sheer choice on offer.

Instead of flogging food from one restaurant, this app allows users to select from a variety of luxurious brands, including a Fortnum & Mason hamper, Harrods Food Hall items, exquisite Japanese cuisine from Nobu, or a taste of Peru from trendy Coya.

Pique

Whether you’re after a picnic for Ascot, a picnic-themed wedding, finger food for an office event or fresh and healthy dishes for an outing, this menu will satisfy you.

Think fancy hampers with handmade produce; featuring mini lobster rolls, blueberry pancakes, and burrata [Italian cheese] with slow-roast tomatoes, pea shoots, and pine nuts.

This is probably the closest you’ll get to a Michelin-star picnic.

Ombra

The crème de la crème of picnics, this Hackney-based Italian eatery knows the way to your heart is through your stomach.

With hampers boasting their signature house focaccia bread, spicy sausage rolls, mortadella [Italian sausage], olives, burrata, pasta salad, beers and Amaretti biscuits, what’s not to love?

Tbh, they had us at spicy sausage rolls.

Top Cuvée

If you’re happy with your Doritos and dip, and would rather skip straight to the fun stuff, there’s no judgement here.

Top Cuvée has your name written all over it, with the north London natural wine dons dropping booze off to your chillout spot in Clissold Park or Highbury Fields.

With more locations to be announced soon, this could fast-become London’s no1 party starter.
