British Picnics, But Better: How We’re Catering London’s Summer One Spread at a Time

May 27, 2025

Picnic Season, Sorted (No Soggy Sandwiches in Sight)

There’s something deeply British about a picnic. And while we can’t control the weather (yet), we can make sure your food is spot on.


At Spoilt For Choice, we’re leaning all the way in with a brand-new menu of seasonal picnic spreads designed for summer events, London office outings, and those outdoor gatherings where the food should be as memorable as the occasion.


Office Catering Goes Al Fresco

Whether it’s a day out at the races, a client event at Regent’s Park, a team day at the cricket, or a garden party that miraculously didn’t get rained off, we’ve created a picnic package that’s indulgent, shareable, and utterly unfussy.


Here’s what’s on the menu:

Elevenses

  • Scottish smoked salmon & cream cheese bagels with lemon zest
  • Crispy bacon, chilli & pepper relish, fresh tomatoes

Lunch

  • Baguettes with hot honey roast chicken, crispy slaw & sriracha aioli
  • Peppercorn sirloin skewers with tarragon cream
  • Teriyaki chicken & red pepper skewers
  • Seeded pesto orzo with poached trout & watercress
  • Chorizo quail scotch eggs with mustard dipping sauce
  • Crudités of heritage vegetables with smoky baba ghanoush
  • English cheese board with Godminster cheddar, Tunworth, artisan crackers & fruits

Tea Time

  • Assorted finger sandwiches
  • Dark & fruity flapjack
  • Moist carrot cake
  • Cheesecake brownies


Why We Created These Spreads

Because sometimes you want a meal that feels like a treat, even if it’s technically a meeting. Because not all picnics should come with a sand garnish. And because London deserves catering that can keep up with its summer events calendar.


We’ve seen a growing trend toward portable luxury catering—menus that travel well, look the part, and don’t sacrifice flavour or dietary flexibility. Our picnic spreads are entirely adaptable to different group sizes, preferences, and delivery locations across London.


Sustainable, Sensible, and a Bit Special

Everything is packed in recyclable or compostable packaging, transported in our electric vans, and labelled clearly for allergens and dietary needs. If it’s good for the planet and tastes great with a glass of fizz on the lawn? That’s a win.


Ready to Book?

Our seasonal picnic spreads are now available for group orders, corporate bookings, and London-wide delivery. You can place your order directly through our online platform or, if you’d prefer a more personal touch, just drop us an email and we’ll handle the rest.

At Spoilt For Choice , we’re proud to offer a menu full of variety, flavor, and fresh ingredients. But what do the people who make and serve the food actually eat themselves? We asked our team to share their favorite menu items , and their choices highlight the best of both comfort food and healthy meals. Martina – Quiches & Tarts Her heart belongs to our homemade quiches and tarts , baked fresh by our French Sous Chef Yves. Flaky shortcrust pastry, cheesy fillings, and seasonal vegetables make this dish a true comfort food classic. "Gimme anything with cheese and veg filling in a shortcrust pastry and I can eat the whole box! Also, freshly made from our French Chef Yves—we have to give credit to the Frenchie for quiches" Ewelina – Wellness Breakfast For a busy mum on the go, Ewelina swears by our Gluten-Free Granola with Coconut Yoghurt and Compote . It’s light, filling, and refreshing, the perfect way to start the day.  Delani – Lasagne with Italian Leaf Salad Nothing beats the classics. For Delani, our rich lasagne served with fresh Italian leaf salad is the definition of simple but delicious. "Mine would be either lasagne with the Italian leaf salad—simple but delicious!" Sandra (Chef de Partie) – Vegan Biscoff Cake Sandra admits she has a sweet tooth, so it’s no surprise that dessert is her favourite. The Vegan Biscoff Cake is rich, indulgent, and completely plant-based—a must-try for cake lovers. Spencer (Head Chef) – Coronation Chicken Sandwich Our Head Chef, Spencer, had no hesitation when asked about his favorite. The Coronation Chicken Sandwich is his pick: creamy, gently spiced, and a British classic made to perfection. “I have to say the coronation chicken sandwich is my favorite.” Catherine – Canapés & Fresh Salads Catherine couldn’t pick just one! From vegan tartlets to Vietnamese prawn skewers and our daily fresh salads, she loves the variety of light yet flavourful dishes on offer. “The canapés are so, so good… and the salads are always fresh and tasty.” Temi – Chicken & Chorizo Ragu If bold and hearty flavours are your thing, you’ll agree with Temi’s choice. The Chicken and Chorizo Ragu with couscous is rich, savoury, and full of comfort. Lucy – Grilled Teriyaki Salmon For Lucy, lunch is about balance: flavor, nutrition, and satiety. That’s why she loves the Grilled Teriyaki Salmon with mixed salads . "Healthy but delicious and it keeps me full for the rest of the day.” Yves (Sous Chef) – Egg & Bacon Sandwich Yves may be French and skilled in refined cooking, but his top choice is a classic egg and bacon sandwich . Simple, satisfying, and timeless—it’s proof that comfort food never goes out of style. "You can’t go wrong with an egg and bacon sandwich.” Discover Your Favorite at Spoilt For Choice From hearty ragus to light granola bowls, indulgent cakes to fresh salads, our staff picks showcase just how much variety you’ll find on the Spoilt For Choice menu.
