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.

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 .
