A fixture in Piccadilly since 1707, Fortnum & Mason is renowned for its extraordinary food, famous teas, and iconic wicker hampers — so we’ve teamed up with Fortnum’s again this year to provide a delicious range of picnics. After all, what could be more perfect than watching top riders and horses perform in the beautiful grounds of Blenheim Palace, with a picnic from Fortnum’s by your side?

Fortnum’s penchant for picnics began in the 18th century, when the iconic Piccadilly destination began to supply hunters and travellers with baskets of provisions for their journeys. Not long after, picnics became highly fashionable in London and the English countryside beyond.The picnics feature the best seasonal ingredients and are packed with summer-ready tipples. All are perfectly prepared for two.

Which will you choose?

The Fortnum’s Picnic

The Fortnum’s Picnic and The Fortnum’s Garden Picnic (v) consist of a starter, main, accompanying salads, cheese plate, pudding, and bottle of wine all served inside a Fortnum’s Cool Bag.

The Fortnum’s Feast

The Fortnum’s Feast and The Fortnum’s Garden Feast (v) are a rather more decadent affair with more indulgent food, wine and a Scotch egg, all housed within a Fortnum’s Huntsman Hamper.

If you prefer your picnic on the fizzier side, you can upgrade to our Fortnum’s Champagne for £35 supplement.
