Think pretty quilts, blankets or mats that you have at home, if you don’t want to get these dirty, drape them over your waterproof rug. Perfect your presentation – because not all picnicware is created equal! When it comes to what to sit on, often a water-resistant underside is a must! However, preventing soggy bottoms aside, it’s worth going a little ‘extra’ for a beautiful boho vibe. You could even ask friends to suggest their favourite summer anthem in advance to create a talking point on the day. Set the mood – create a picnic playlist on your ipad – think relaxing Ibiza sunshine vibes, or a festival playlist to remember great times. Grab a dish to takeaway and enjoy in your favourite city spot and save on the cooking. Savour Street Food – the UK’s street food scene is fantastic and you can find markets in most major cities – The Pitt in Edinburgh, The Big Feed in Glasgow and Bristol’s weekly market at St Nicholas’ Market are some of my favourites. And don’t forget some throw blankets, to wrap around your shoulders at sundown – bliss. Either enjoyed sat on a pier or on a beach with sandy toes. Some of my favourite seaside seafood shacks across the country are – Crail Crab Shack (as featured on my social posts), Riley’s Fish Shack in North Shields and Sole Bay in Southwold Suffolk. Head to the Coast – why not enjoy some world class seafood which we’re so blessed with here in the UK. Another option is to host a colour themed picnic, each person brings a dish of their selected colour (matching outfits of course encouraged!) Some Spanish picnic tapas, a Mexican feast, or even some delicious local fayre to offer a taste of your hometown, this works especially well if you are hosting for friends from outside the area.
Consider hosting a themed picnic with a spread inspired by your favourite holiday destination. Go global – when it comes to picnic food, the world is your oyster. Pippa’s tips for thinking outside the (picnic) box
