All our picnics are served in five tier tiffin tins and, unless otherwise stated, contain enough food to serve two hungry people. They all come with a complementary bread basket plus plates, cutlery, serviettes, glasses and salt and pepper. Desserts, drinks, extra breads, side dishes and our artisan English cheese and charcuterie selections can be ordered separately.
