We are Paul and Tessa, owners and founders of picnic inspired wedding hampers. Our hampers are made with love, good local food and a passion for feeding people.
We have catered for many weddings - starting with our own in 2011. Our wedding had an Alice in Wonderland theme and we wanted something that would fit - what better than an afternoon tea picnic? When you visit us to sample a picnic we will continue the story and you will see how far we have come since then.
We offer individual baskets for orders up to 75 people and sharing hampers for orders up to 150 people. If you would like individual picnic boxes we can offer these for up to 150 people. All menus can be tailored to suit your tastes and requirements.
We have catered for picnic weddings in barns, fields, tipis, stately homes, castles, treehouses, repair barns, cricket pavilions, gardens, forests, village halls and more...
