It might not feel like it right at this moment but picnic season is on the way! We love a good picnic here at UKMums.tv, be it a day date or a family outing picnics never grow old, but what can grow old are the regular cheese and pickle sarnies and cocktail sausages that we often pack up.

Who says picnic foods have to be boring? We’ve been trying out a host of fun and exciting picnic options so that we can give you a top guide of what to take on your next outing!
