Picnics by Vintage Rose Catering

Sitting on a picnic rug, sipping tea from best china and tasting cake, it’s so Jane Austin!  While we can’t bring Mr Darcy to order, we can supply you with fine picnic essentials with vintage accessories to boot. Maybe you’re taking a break in the country with friends or taking in a play or festival in the park, or embarking on a romantic afternoon or maybe even looking for the perfect atmosphere to propose to your sweetheart.

An extract from The Wind in the Willows by Kenneth Graham
The rat… appeared staggering under a fat, wicker luncheon basket.  “Shove that under your feet, he observed to the Mole, as he passed it down into his boat… “What’s inside it?” asked the Mole wriggling with curiosity.  “There’s cold chicken inside it,” replied the Rat briefly,   “Cold chicken, cold tongue, cold ham, cold beef, pickled gherkin, salad french rolls, cress sandwiches, potted meat, ginger beer, lemonade – soda water.”

“O stop, stop!” cried the Mole in ecstasies. “This is too much!” Do you really think so?” inquired the Rat, seriously. “It’s only what I usually take on these little excursions and the other animals always tell me that I’m a mean beast and cut it very fine!”
