Picnic Hampers

A picnic hamper from MakeHampers is the food for a day out, not a wicker basket. Cheese in a cool bag, crackers and chutney, wine or beer, and something sweet to finish. Chosen to spread on a rug, packed by hand.

Free UK delivery, no minimum order. If you are after a woven basket with plates and cutlery, this is not it. What it is: proper picnic food, with a cool bag to keep the cheese right.

What Is a Picnic Hamper

A picnic hamper is a gift box of food made for eating outdoors. Cheese, crackers, savoury snacks and something to drink. Ours come in boxes and cool bags, not woven baskets. The focus is on what you eat. Not the basket you carry it in.

A picnic gift here tends to hold:

  • Cheese, with a cool bag to keep it
  • Crackers, chutney and savoury snacks
  • Wine, prosecco or craft beer
  • Chocolate or sweets to finish
  • Packed by hand, ready for the rug

Build it round the day. A cool bag of cheese for a warm afternoon, a bottle and snacks to go with it.

A Picnic for Two, or for a Group

For two, a cheese cool bag and a bottle of wine is plenty. Easy to carry and share. For four or more, go bigger. A cheese box, a wine case and extra snacks covers the rug. Match the size to the crowd and nobody goes hungry.

Not a Wicker Basket

Straight up. We do not sell the woven basket with the leather straps and matching plates. What we sell is the food that goes in one. The Cheese Cool Bag is the closest to picnic kit. Thermal packaging keeps the cheddar cool on a warm day.

Choosing Picnic Food

Start with the cheese, since it travels well and shares easily. The cheese hampers run to three cheddars with chutney. Add a bottle from the wine hampers. Fill the gaps with crisps and nuts from the savoury hampers.

Ordering and Delivery

Delivery is free the length of the UK. Get an order in by 1pm and it leaves that working day. Pick the day it arrives at the basket, so it lands before the picnic, not after. A wine case is heavy and needs a signature. The delivery and returns page has the timings.

Picnic Hampers: Frequently Asked Questions

Cheese, crackers, chutney and savoury snacks, with wine, prosecco or beer, and something sweet to finish. The cheese comes in a cool bag to keep it right outdoors. It is the food for a picnic, ready to spread out.

Not woven wicker baskets, no. We sell the food that fills one, in boxes and cool bags. The Cheese Cool Bag is the nearest thing to picnic kit, keeping the cheddar cool while you carry it.

A cheese cool bag with a bottle of wine does it for two. Enough to share on a rug without lugging a load about. Add a sweet box if you want a pudding.

The Cheese Cool Bag is built for it, with thermal packaging that holds the temperature for a few hours. On a hot day, keep it in the shade and eat the cheese first.

Order by 1pm on a weekday and it ships the same day, free across the UK. Set the delivery for the day before your picnic at the basket, so it is fresh and cool.
