Food Storage

When it comes to picnics one of the most important things is good food storage, especially if you have a long journey ahead to get to your destination Easy Picnic Food Ideas. Purchase some top quality containers that seal air tight so that the freshness is maintained. Purchase a cooler bag and freeze some blocks to keep your food cool in the hot weather.

Get a Good Rug

Lets face it, if you do not have somewhere decent to sit enjoying your food and the atmosphere is almost impossible. So having a thick and large picnic mat is ideal. We suggest purchasing one with a nifty handle too so it is easy to carry!

If you plan on being there a while we also suggest bringing along a cushion to sit on, one that is easy to carry of course. This way you will avoid getting a numb bum.

 Take some Baked Goods

Make sure you prepare some baked good to take along so that you can fulfil that sweet tooth crabbing after you enjoy the main meal. Try to avoid making items with lots of icing, it doesn’t always go well in the sun, remembering this is most likely what you will eat last.

 Get creative with your sandwiches

Get a bit creative and try mixing up some new flavours with your sandwich platter. Like a lamb and grated beetroot sandwich with some garlic aioli, or even some sweet potato and veggie sandwich for a vegetarian option.

To conceal the freshness and just made taste, don’t put your sauce on when you pack, bring the sauce along in a container and put it on when it is time to eat. This will take your picnic meal up a notch.
