There’s something deeply joyful about a beautifully packed picnic. A bottle of chilled rosé nestled into the cool bag, linen napkins folded neatly beside heritage plates, and – at the heart of it all – a spread of truly indulgent food. This isn’t a last-minute supermarket dash; it’s a carefully considered feast for friends in the sunshine.
If you’re heading to the beach, the garden or a countryside spot this summer, then let Nicholson’s help you pack a picnic to remember.
Perfect provisions for an elegant picnic
Forget soggy sandwiches and flavourless filler. At Nicholson’s, we prepare picnic-perfect produce with the same care and quality you’d expect for your dinner table.
To begin with, start with our famous hand-raised pork pies – crafted in-house, beautifully seasoned, and wrapped in perfectly golden pastry. Additionally, add a couple of homemade scotch eggs (cut in half and served with a delicious chutney), and a selection of sliced charcuterie, cooked meats and pâtés from our deli counter.
Next, mix in a few ready-to-go classics from our fridge:
Then, round things off with a generous scoop or two from our range of salads — think creamy coleslaw, rich cheese savoury or spicy red cabbage coleslaw. They’re ideal for picnics and pair beautifully with cold meats and pies. All you need now is the sun.
Designed for stylish entertaining on the go
Planning a picnic doesn’t mean compromising on taste or aesthetics. In fact, our selection has been curated to give you everything you need to lay out a tablecloth on the grass and create a picnic that looks as good as it tastes.
Don’t forget to check out our range of sweet treats including homemade scones and dessert traybakes to finish.
Over the years, we’ve seen customers turn our picnic picks into the centrepiece of a hen weekend, birthday lunch or just a sunny Friday on the sand with friends. Ultimately, it’s about making moments feel a little more special.
Personal service, perfectly packed
What sets us apart is our service. If you want something bespoke, just ask. We’ll help you put together a picnic selection that suits your group size, dietary needs and style. Whether you need gluten-free options, vegetarian picks or something truly indulgent, we’ll hand-select each item and pack it to perfection.
Moreover, our expert team is always on hand to recommend the best flavour pairings or new items you haven’t tried yet.
So, if you’re dreaming of the perfect summer afternoon, make your picnic feel more effortless, and far more delicious.
