Simple Picnic Recipes: Easy and Delicious Ideas for Outdoor Dining

Nothing says English summertime quite like a picnic enjoyed with friends and family. Making the most of the warmer weather and enjoying some delicious treats is the perfect summer activity, and the preparation can be as simple as you would like with our selection of fuss-free recipes guaranteed to go down a treat. 

It’s time to grab those picnic blankets, head off out into the sun and tuck into something tasty with your loved ones. 


Cheese and Marmite Scones

A traditional delicacy for your hamper, Cheese and Marmite scones come with a delicious twist, packed full of flavour. A savoury snack that everyone will love!  they can be whipped up in just 30 minutes using one of our Non-Stick Baking Sheets and whisked away still warm, to be enjoyed in the fresh air. 

A staple that the whole family will be reaching for, be sure to pack everyone's favourite spreads and set off on your adventure to the British outdoors. 


Caramalised Onion and Thyme Sausage Rolls

No picnic is complete with a sausage roll, and why not enhance the delicious flavour with caramelised onions and sage?

With a fast preparation and bake time, it is as easy as packing them up in a Lock n Lock Eco Glass Container and heading out into the sun. 

You could even get the family involved in their preparation, adapting to include all of their favourite flavours before baking on the Nadiya Hussain Oven Tray, transforming them into golden delights. 


Pea and Ham Picnic Eggs

Taking the classic and flavoursome combination of pea and ham and making it bite-sized, these Pea and Ham Picnic Eggs are the perfect addition to your blanket spread. Easy to transport and a great filler, these yummy treats will be popular amongst your family and friends. 

Compiled and then fried in a Non-Stick Frying Pan, we recommend eating these eggs with mustard or tartar sauce to elevate their delicious taste. 


Chocolate Honey Popcorn

Every picnic needs its fair share of sweet delights to enjoy after finishing off the savouries, and Chocolate Honey Popcorn could be the easiest and most delicious of all!

With a taste not far from the delicious millionaire's shortbread or a classic Rolo, this recipe is quick and simple to make in a Non-Stick Saucepan and is great for everyone to munch on whilst basking in the summer sun. 


Easy Vanilla Cupcakes

Enjoy a fluffy cupcake in the great outdoors with the ones you love the most. The Easy Vanilla Cupcakes are a perfect recipe to rustle up quickly for any picnic and offer a delightfully simple and reminiscent flavour that everyone will love. 

Whip up some cake batter and pop them into the oven on the Nadiya Hussain 12 Cup Muffin Tin to release a sweet smell that will have everyone excited. Invite your family to help with decoration and then finally enjoy the fruits of your labour upon the picnic blanket. 

Whether it is the local park or somewhere further afield, a picnic with your family is the perfect and definitely the most delicious activity to do this summer. Use our simple recipes to help craft your perfect picnic, so you can concentrate on making memories with your loved ones.
