Now that we can meet our dear friends and family outdoors, we can start prepping for picnics at the park – or for a garden party! Here are some of our recommendations for an easy and enjoyable outdoor feast.


Crisps

Crisps – the essential nibble food. Burts hand cooked crisps offer your guests that high-quality crunch, reminiscent of a special occasion – which this certainly is! – plus bags of flavour. Most importantly, Burts crisps will come in individually wrapped portions, so you don’t have to worry about ending up with a bowl of germy and stale crisps! Choose from Sea Salt, Sea Salt & Malt Vinegar, Vintage Cheddar & Spring Onion and Smoked Crispy Bacon.


Bruschette

Maretti Bruchette will make for easy canapés. All you need is a simple topping, and your good to go. This could be in the from of tomato & mozzarella, cream cheese & smoked salmon, pâté (or creamed mushroom for the veggie and mushroom lovers), cured meats – and much more! These little crispy antipasto bites are also perfect crushed and sprinkled over your Spring salad! You can get yours in Tomato, Pizza, Vegetable or Garlic flavour.


Pasta

Bring a taste of Italy into your garden (or local park!) with Chef’s Larder Italian pasta. If you’re in charge of the picnic- or party-pasta, this big 3kg bag of Chef’s Larder Penne will be handy – especially if you intend on many a outdoor picnics or being host of a large number of people. As well as Penne, you can find Conchiglie, Farfalle and Fusilli in our Chef’s Larder Italian pasta range.

Hot Dogs

Hot dogs are an absolute must-have for any British outdoor feast. These Wikinger Beachwood Smoked Bockwurst Style hot dogs are not only great tasting, but they are also great value. Simply drain and stick these onto a barbecue for the ultimate Spring-Summer treat, or boil and drain them for a picnic-ready snack. Once cooked, you could also cut these up into bite-size chunks and finish off with cocktail sticks – for an easy and practical party nibble.


Biscuits

For a convenient sweet treat, Border offers a 5-variety pack of mini biscuits. Each portion is individually wrapped, making them travel friendly and super practical. The Border variety pack includes Light & Buttery Viennese Whirls, Light & Buttery Shortbread Rings, Butterscotch Crunch, Divinely Chocolatey Cookies, Crunchy Oat Crumbles.


Haribo

Kids and grown-ups love it so… So you’ll be sure to please everyone with this Haribo Share the Fun Pouch. Skip the complicated and long process of dessert making and keep it simple. This 20-pack consists of 3 classic mixes: Tangfastics, Starmix and Supermix.


For something more indulgent, Haribo Chamallows are perfect for making smores – or simply toasting to melty, oozy perfection. For the maximum indulgence, pop some mallows on a wooden skewer along with a medley of fruit and finish with a generous coating of chocolate. For practicality and transportability, we recommend refrigerating this overnight!


Drinks

Being well into Springtime, it’s safe to say that it’s getting a little warmer. Tie that in with all the nattering we are going to be doing, we’re certainly going to need something to quench our thirst and keep us going.

Nothing will quench thirst quite like a fresh, cold cup of juice. Cawston Press Cloudy Apple Juice is the perfectly refreshing Spring drink, made with Cox’s Orange Pippin for depth, Bramley for bite and Braeburn & Jonagold for delicate sweetness.


For the sweeter tooth, Vimto – the classic fizzy blend of grape, raspberries and blackcurrants – will hit the spot. We offer this British favourite in Original (full-fat) or Zero (diet) – both as tasty and refreshingly fruity as each other!


For a party-party drink, throw in your favourite spirit – or add some bubbly to make a delicious Apple or Vimto Bellini. And to mark this special milestone, why not serve these drinks in style. These transportable and reusable plastic champagne flutes will be perfect for just that!
