Picnic and BBQ equipment

For all sorts of picnic equipment I can't recommend anyone more highly in the UK than the Picnic Shop

They just concentrate on picnics and have a lovely selection of items from rugs and hammocks, to flasks and full picnic sets.

If you live on the other side of the pond, then I recommend the USA based Picnic World for great prices on all kinds of picnic equipment:

If you're looking for backpacks in the USA then check out celebration backpacks.

Cath Kidston Ltd. is a fabulous website for all sorts of alfresco items with Cath's wonderful floral designs on each one. This is a website I know you'll fall in love with.

You'll find barbeque and picnic items from time to time, as well as fabulous stuff that you don't need, but really, really want at: I Want One of Those Ltd.

They are a UK company but will now also ship to most of Europe and the USA. I just love the things they offer - some are really funky! Great for presents for all ages too.

Take a look at their portable BBQs and the most brilliant invention ever for outdoor cooking, the extremely mobile (fits in your pocket!) Grilliput.

Shop for Drinks online (UK)

I rate Majestic Wine very highly as they offer Free delivery to a time of your choosing (even week-ends & evenings) and you can also order beer, soft drinks and water - saves lugging heavy bags back from the shops!

Shop for Food online

Donald Russellmeat and game (they do seafood too) is just superb. You won't find better meat for your bbq (or kitchen!) anywhere - and they have a brilliant delivery system. They have never let me down and they're recommended by Delia and Nigella too!

London Fine Foods Group is the UK's leading online retailer of Specialist Luxury Fine Foods. Excellent for specialist foods and half the price of Fortnums, Harrods or Selfridges.

For gourmet chocolate, you'll just drool over the selection from the Chocolate Trading Company.

A Quarter Of...is the UK's old-fashioned sweetshop on the internet. Over 500 of the best sweets ever from gobstoppers to space dust, sweet tobacco to black jacks, anglo bubbly to gourmet jelly beans.

In the U.S.A. British Food and Drink has a complete line of British food and drink conveniently located in San Francisco, California. Reasonable prices, prompt shipping.
