Treat yourself to that “something special” to make the most of  days out exploring North Devon: the use of a fully prepared picnic hamper together with all of the essentials for comfortable al fresco eating.

Enjoy a luxurious picnic with none of the work which goes in to putting together such a spread.  Take the hamper and wicker basket laden with food and head for the beach, the moor or a favourite spot and eat at leisure; sipping cooled wine from glasses in the open air, reclining on the rug or sitting comfortably in chairs.

If the weather is warm, the picnic might include a spread of salads, cold meats, quiche and cakes but in cooler weather, flasks of soup, accompanied by breads and cheeses might be more appropriate.  Complimentary homemade cake is also provided.  We do our best to source foods which meet your precise menu requirements: using high quality, securely packaged produce from Marks and Spencer helps us to offer a wide choice to suit all requirements, and reassures our guests of quality and freshness of the picnic food.

“I was unsure what to do for my husband as a surprise added to his birthday weekend; knowing he would love to spend the day on the beach I thought a picnic hamper to aid this would be perfect.  How right I was!  The picnic hamper, linen, crockery, and Helen’s time and effort were of the highest quality - a simple “Thank you” seems no where near good enough.  The high standard of the picnic hamper matches the very high standard of the B and B.  The whole experience is a five star luxury”

We will discuss your personal menu requirements, and work within a budget for food set by you.  We make an additional charge of £20 to cover the preparation of the hamper and acquisition of your requested contents, and the hire and use of the hamper (including accessories such as crockery, glasses, cutlery, food storage containers,  incidental linen, chairs and rug).   Naturally, we assume guests will take careful custody of these items and return them safely.
