Dining Al Fresco for National Picnic Month

A little birdie told us that July is National Picnic Month, and we’re absolutely here for it. Eating outside with friends and family is one of the highlights of summer for us, and we’re happy to grab the chance every time we can!

 

To make outdoor dining easier, we’ve put together a list of our must-haves. Whether it’s a casual get together or something more elaborate, these stylish and practical items that will make picnicking your new favourite hobby…. Who’s in?

 

A decent floor covering is Picnicking 101 and we love this outdoor rug. Its gingham vibes make us feel summery in our bones and its durability means it’ll last us several seasons. You can even move it indoors once the weather dips!

 

When it comes to entertaining in your own garden, you might want somewhere to serve from. We love this unique cement coffee table – ideal for a patio or deck. Place dishes on top as a centre point and let your guests spread out across the space. For a more formal dining experience, try this Wooden Foldaway Garden Table & Chairs Set. 

 

This trolley is useful both indoors and out. Load it up with drinks and nibbles, or simply use it to transport dishes back and forth from the kitchen. The castors make it easy to move and its polished finish makes an impression. With in-built bottle holders and a detachable tray, it’s every host’s dream.

We plan on using these foldaway armchairs to add a touch of class to our picnics. In a versatile monochrome print with clever, patented hinges so they open on their own, they’ll keep you and your guests in carefree luxury as you dine.

This dispenser is a must for any garden party. It’s 6 litre capacity means it’ll keep thirsts quenched for hours, and the little tap allows everyone to serve themselves. Fill in with ice, chopped fruit and Pimms for that ultimate British summer experience.
