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.

What Does Our Team Love to Eat? Our Team’s Favourite Menu Picks At Spoilt For Choice , we’re all about variety, fresh ingredients and food that tastes great. But with so many dishes on the menu, what do the people who make and serve our food actually choose for themselves? We asked our team to share their favourite menu items, and their answers range from comforting classics and indulgent treats to fresh, healthy options. Here’s what they love. Martina – Homemade Quiches & Tarts Martina’s favourite is our homemade quiches and tarts , freshly prepared by our French Sous Chef, Yves. With flaky shortcrust pastry, generous fillings, cheese and seasonal vegetables, they’re the ultimate comfort food. “Gimme anything with cheese and veg filling in a shortcrust pastry and I can eat the whole box! And they’re freshly made by our French chef Yves, so we have to give credit to the Frenchie for the quiches!” Ewelina – Wellness Breakfast For Ewelina, it’s all about starting the day well. Her go-to is our gluten-free granola with coconut yoghurt and compote . Light, fresh and satisfying, it’s a great choice for a busy morning when you want something that keeps you going without feeling too heavy. Delani – Lasagne with Italian Leaf Salad Sometimes you just can’t beat a classic. Delani’s favourite is our lasagne served with Italian leaf salad, simple, comforting and full of flavour. “Mine would be either lasagne with the Italian leaf salad, simple but delicious!” Sandra, Chef de Partie – Vegan Biscoff Cake Sandra has a sweet tooth, so her favourite comes as no surprise. Our Vegan Biscoff Cake is rich, indulgent and completely plant-based. It’s a firm favourite for anyone who likes their dessert with plenty of flavour. Dan, Head Chef – Coronation Chicken Sandwich Our Head Chef, Dan , knows his way around the menu, but when it comes to choosing a favourite, he keeps it simple. His pick is the Coronation Chicken Sandwich - creamy, gently spiced and a true British classic. “I have to say the Coronation Chicken Sandwich is my favourite.” Diana – Canapés & Fresh Salads Diana finds it difficult to choose just one favourite, and we can understand why. From vegan tartlets and Vietnamese prawn skewers to our freshly prepared salads , there’s plenty of variety to choose from. “The canapés are so, so good… and the salads are always fresh and tasty.” Temi – Chicken & Chorizo Ragu For something hearty and full of flavour, Temi goes for our Chicken and Chorizo Ragu with couscous . Rich, savoury and comforting, it’s a great choice when you’re after something a little more substantial. Lucy – Grilled Teriyaki Salmon Lucy’s favourite strikes a balance between flavour and nutrition. She goes for our Grilled Teriyaki Salmon with mixed salads . It’s fresh, satisfying and packed with flavour, the kind of lunch that leaves you feeling full without feeling weighed down. “Healthy but delicious, and it keeps me full for the rest of the day.” Yves, Sous Chef – Egg & Bacon Sandwich Despite being our French Sous Chef and having plenty of experience with refined cooking, Yves is a fan of something wonderfully simple: the egg and bacon sandwich . Sometimes, you really can’t improve on a classic. “You can’t go wrong with an egg and bacon sandwich.” Find Your Favourite From homemade quiches and hearty ragus to fresh salads, healthy breakfasts and indulgent cakes, our team’s choices are a great reflection of the variety at Spoilt For Choice . Whether you’re looking for a quick breakfast, a satisfying lunch, something sweet or catering for an event, there’s plenty to choose from.
