Picnic recipes
Put down a blanket and enjoy the outdoors with our best picnic recipes, including summer salads, sausage rolls, sandwiches and cake recipes. Ideal picnic food for al fresco eating.
Simple savoury inspiration: Finger foods such as mini pork pies, scotch eggs and sausage rolls are picnic snacking family favourites. Fill sandwiches with classic egg mayo and coronation chicken – or try this posh picnic loaf stuffed with cheese.
Easy-to-share ideas: For large groups, pack this slice-and-share tomato frittata, make-ahead feta pasta salad or baked ham with potato salad. Don’t forget the crisps and dips!
Sweet picnic recipes: We recommend easy-to-eat wedges of cake, like our upside down apricot cake, old school Tottenham cake or elderflower drizzle loaf. Simple flapjacks and cookies are always a winner, too!
