In celebration of National Picnic Month, Stonegate’s Pub & Dining division has partnered with Pimm’s to introduce a Pimm’s Picnic Hamper experience at selected locations nationwide.
Over 50 Pub & Dining locations are participating in this offer, which is available to all guests from July through the end of September. Guests can book the experience as a picnic for two, choosing either a glass or a jug of Pimm’s to enjoy in the sunshine of their favourite Pub & Dining beer garden. Additional guests can be added to the booking, making it perfect for groups too. To find out your nearest participating site, check out the Pub & Dining website.
The handcrafted hampers include picnic blankets, cushions and Pimm’s, alongside a plentiful food offering with something to tempt everyone. Guests can enjoy classic sandwiches such as Egg Mayonnaise and Wiltshire Ham, English Mustard & Taw Valley Cheddar, as well as other flavourful options such as Smoked Salmon & Chive Mayo and a vegan Sweet Potato Falafel, Avocado and Tomato sandwich. Each hamper will also include a delicious Hog Roast Sausage Roll with caramelised onion and a tangy apply sauce as well as a Greek-Style Sheese® Dressed Salad that is full of fresh vegetables.
No picnic hamper would be complete without a sweet treat, and the Pimm’s Picnic Hampers deliver with traditional English favourites like scones with clotted cream and Tiptree strawberry jam, as well as a tempting chocolate brownie with a pot of dipping sauce.
Stonegate’s Pub & Dining venues are well-known for their delicious food offering and cosy family-friendly environments that provide a traditional pub atmosphere.
Harrie Markwell from Pub & Dining said: “We’re thrilled to be launching our brand-new Picnic Hamper alongside a brand as iconic as Pimm’s. We’re always looking for ways to innovate and capture the imagination of our customers and what represents summer more than a glass of Pimm’s in a sun-drenched beer garden!
“The Pub & Dining sites taking part in the offer have beautiful gardens and I’m confident they will provide a perfect backdrop to any garden picnic. Our Pimm’s Picnic Hamper should be on everyone’s must-do list this summer.”
The offer is available daily from 1st July – 30th September. To take advantage of the fantastic deal, guests need to pre-book 48 hours in advance via the Pub & Dining website and selecting the Pimm’s Picnic Preorder option when making an outdoor booking.
