Picnic perfect
National Picnic Week takes place in June and we like nothing better than a good old fashioned British picnic.
We’ve put together some of our top tips to help you have the perfect picnic:
- Don’t forget, comfort comes first! No one likes sitting on lumpy grass, so remember that all important picnic blanket and perhaps a few cushions to make you even more comfy.
- Don’t over pack. You will probably have to walk to your picnic spot from the car so go for a cool bag instead of a cool box and don’t forget, what you don’t eat and drink you will need to carry back to the car.
- Pick items that are easy to transport such as finger food like sandwiches, cookies, cupcakes, scotch eggs, pork pies, sausage rolls, olives, grapes and strawberries.
- Pre-freeze some drinks cartons so you can then place them around your food items in your cool bag to keep them chilled.
- Stay protected in the sun! As well as your food, don’t forget to pack the sun cream, hat and sunglasses.
- Keep the children amused by taking some games for them to enjoy, such as a bat and ball. French cricket is one of our favourite picnic games and perfect for all the family to get involved with! You could also take a Communibear with you too, click here to buy online and collect in the bakery.
- Save on those wet wipes and the impact they have on the environment, and take a flannel presoaked in water and placed in a container for those sticky fingers.
- Take your rubbish home with you if you can’t find a bin. Make sure you leave your perfect picnic spot as you found it!
