Picnic recipes

Roll out the blanket... We've rounded up our very best picnic food ideas for sunny afternoons in the great outdoors. Think easy-to-pack finger foods that travel well, from trusty sausage rolls, scotch eggs, pasties and flapjacks and more classics that'll disappear before you've finished unpacking the basket. 

Looking to raise the bar on sandwiches? Swap the soggy tomato-and-cheese standby for something a little more impressive, like our hero sharing sandwich. Add a showstopping quiche or pie to the centre of the spread and watch the oohs and aahs roll in. Then all that's left to do is find a sunny spot, pour yourself a glass of Pimm’s cocktail and tuck in. For more refreshing ways to toast a sunny day, take a look at our summer cocktail recipes.
