11 Picnic Hampers For Cocktails, Cheese And Charcuterie Dinners This Summer

Celebrate the Queen's Platinum Jubilee this year with this treat of a picnic hamper that includes shortbread biscuits, tea, salted caramel milk chocolate crowns and much more. It's almost too good to tuck into... we said 'almost'.

This is the OG of picnic hampers and features everything from mini caramel shortbread biscuits, tea and chocolate to mini preserves, chocolate coins and more.

Oh so chic in black with the Nichols signature label, this hamper contains sparkling wine, gin, rosé as well as snacks like olives and rice crackers.

While there isn't any food nor drink products in this hamper, the baker-style design and leather handles make it the perfect carrier for food on hot summer days, as well as a storage container that can be placed wherever in the house.

This is a pricey option but it's worth the investment in our eyes if you love all things Italian food and wine. Inside the black wicker basket sits red and green pestos, three bruschetta toppings, Prosecco, Chianti and more. Trust us, it's a good'un.

This is a sweet hamper at a steal of a price that's filled with a bottle of Sangiovese, chutney, chocolates, biscuits and other delicious goods.

Is it a hamper? Is it a table? Well, it's kind of both. The willow basket comes with a removable and detachable wine table which can be placed in the grass or sand and hold your wine while you sunbathe and swim in the sea. We're buying one, ASAP.

This hamper can be customised and contains plates, a bottle opener, a picnic blanket and cooler bag, as well as cutlery and glasses. We can't think of a better summer present for ourselves and our loved ones.

It's a well known fact that Melrose & Morgan, the North London grocer and kitchen company, make some of the best, most filling, and most delicious picnic hampers on the market. This year, their famous picnic collection includes The Traditional Picnic (think scotch eggs, pork sausage rolls, sweet peppers filled with feta, manzanilla green olives, strawberries and rich chocolate brownies), which can have foods swapped in and out depending on dietary requirements, and the Heath & Hill Picnic (options include hummus, charcuterie, Melrose & Morgan’s homemade fig and apple chutney, avocado and Golden cross goat’s cheese, and much more). Better yet, each picnic comes in its own ‘PICNIC’ tote bag to keep.

What time is it? It's time to buy this Harvey Nichols Gin O'Clock Hamper. Hiding inside is a miniature gin bottle, a G&T glass, olives, salted nuts and more. This is the perfect gift for gin lovers.

If you're in the moon for English breakfast tea, honey and chocolates then this is the picnic hamper for you and your friends this summer. Bon appétit!
