Hampers of Scrumptious Delights for your Cotswold Picnic

Serene countryside views are accompanied by songbirds as a refreshing summers breeze brushes by your perfect picnic spot. Your blanket is spread and wicker basket thrown open to reveal the delights that you’re about to dine on. Whoever your picnic partners are, the Cotswolds cater to all with ready-made hampers, overflowing farm shops and independent delis. Pack your kite and bring the dog and let us show you the local flavours so you can rustle up a mouthwatering feast.
Daylesford
Elevate your picnic setup with a trip to Daylesford Organic. From French country crockery and blankets to the finest pork pies and freshest fruits, only the best will do at Daylesford. With baskets brimming full of locally sourced produce and an envious wine collection, you can pick up everything you need.
The Daylesford picnic hamper is a real treat. Sip prosecco, make decadent sandwiches alongside cheese and crackers and indulge with cake and biscuits. Presented in a reusable cooler bag it is the epitome of countryside dining.

Gloucester Services Farm Shop
You might think suggesting motorway services is a strange idea if you’re looking for picnic provisions, but these are quite a bit different. Instead of a Little Chef and drive-through coffee shop, you’ll find local meats, fresh fruit and veg and wonderfully aromatic breads and pastries. Sourcing suppliers from within 30 miles you’re sure to only find the cream of the crop.
If you’re heading to the Cotswolds for the weekend, it’s an easy stopping point on the way. Fill your basket with salad boxes, free-range pork sausage rolls and antipasti for a picnic that’s full of flavour.

Diddly Squat Farm Shop
Bringing celebrity flair to the Cotswold farm shop scene, Diddly Squat is Jeremy Clarkson’s brainchild. Selling a range of local produce and Clarkson’s own Hawkstone beer, visiting the shop is an experience in itself. While queues can reach astonishing lengths, if you’re a fan of Clarkson’s Farm it’s well worth a visit.
Pick up some tasty morsels for your picnic and enjoy the amazing views in this picturesque part of the country. The café here has been aptly named “The Big View”!
Jolly Nice
You might find you’ll need a bigger picnic basket after a trip to Jolly Nice! This award-winning, family run farm shop is a beautiful shopping destination. A collection of wooden buildings and yurts house a market-style selection of fruit and veg and a delicious range of foods to go.
Everything you could need for a weekly shop is on offer here so you’ll have more than enough choice for your picnic lunch. Grab a bottle of wine to make this a truly scrumptious selection of afternoon delights.
Elkstone Studios
Independent businesses gather at Elkstone Studios letting you browse the delights of the Cotswolds at your leisure. Pick up breads and pastries at Knead bakery while Jesse Smith butchers have a range of exclusive treats perfect for your country picnic. Think cheeses, full to the brim pies and mouthwatering cinnamon swirls.
There’s nothing better than the smell of freshly baked bread filling the air as you lay on a hilltop blanket. Fill the kid’s glasses with locally made apple juice and watch the dog chase butterflies. Having a picnic is a wonderland treat
