Our hot list of items for a great picnic
As you would expect from one of the UK’s top suppliers of quality picnic tables, here at Benchmark (http://www.benchmarkpicnictables.co.uk/) we know a thing or two about picnics. Whether you’re picnicking at a beauty spot or in the comfort of your own back garden, here’s our hot list of things to pack for a great picnic.
Picnic blanket
Hopefully you’ll have the comfort and luxury of a picnic table to enjoy your picnic; picnics are always far more enjoyable if you have. However, even picnics on one of our beautiful wooden picnic tables could do with a handy picnic blanket. They provide somewhere to lie back on and get some sun, can be used to cuddle under if it turns a little chilly, and can be used to cover the picnic basket from insects.
Picnic basket
Speaking of which, we think picnic baskets are things of beauty too. An expertly woven traditional hamper style basket is an elegant addition to eating al fresco. But there are lots of styles on the market, all of which somehow make picnic food taste even better! And it’s much more stylish than lugging food around in plastic bags.
Picnic nibbles
Food is of course a big part of any picnic, but we encourage you to think a little more about the type of food you have. Forget boring sandwiches, chicken legs and boiled eggs; picnic nibbles are where it’s at! Choose things like marinated olives, pistachio nuts, small slices of quiche, hunks of freshly baked bread and a selection of your favourite cheeses. Not only are nibbles like this easier to eat on a picnic, but they look great spread out on a checkered tablecloth on your picnic bench or blanket.
Bottle opener and corkscrew
How many times have you looked forward to that ice-cold bottle of beer or wine only to realise the bottle opener or corkscrew is at home? Buy cheap extras which you can keep in your picnic basket at all times and you’ll never have that problem.
Pleasant distractions
Don’t forget to pack a book to read at the picnic table in peace while the kids play with the Frisbee and other games you’ve remembered to bring. Picnics are a great opportunity to unwind with your favourite pleasant distraction.
And most importantly, a great picnic table!
And above all (or under all, in fact!) is a top quality picnic table. One which is big enough to seat all your friends and family, which has plenty of legroom and comfy seats, and which can hold all your yummy picnic goodies.
