How to host a Garden Party with hampers from the British Hamper Company.

Who thinks June is the best month of the year?!

Not only do we have the longer days and warmer weather but we see our gardens exploding with colourful spring flowers and everything looking so green and fresh. Lambs frolic in the fields and there’s a feeling of energy and optimism everywhere!

And at this time of year, with winter behind us, we have an even greater desire to socialise and catch up with friends and what better way to do it than with a party at home, in the garden! You don’t have to have an award-winning garden to throw a successful get-together, you just need good company and great food and we have ideal food and drink hampers to do just that.

Wondering how to throw a quintessential British Garden Party?

We can help!

Here at The British Hamper Company, we only select food from small British artisan producers, focusing on the provenance, quality and taste. We’ve gathered an impressive collection of produce which we carefully pack into either beautiful traditional wicker hampers or one of our attractive gift boxes.

Our range of gift hampers is extensive and are suitable for many different occasions, including a Garden Party!

Containing an array of sweet and savoury delights alongside English wines, beers and refreshing soft drinks, plus wines from renowned international producers, you have everything you need for a memorable early summer occasion.

 We cater for those with special dietary requirements too.

Here are our top 3 hamper picks for a wonderful party:

The Picnic Celebration Hamper:

This delicious selection of food comes smartly presented in a traditional wicker basket – how summery is that?!

Everything you need for a British Cream Tea is in this basket together with wonderfully traditional delights such as smoked salmon, an award-winning Lincolnshire cheese and much more. Enjoy a chilled glass of Chapel Down’s English Rose and you have complete heaven.

A relaxing, peaceful hamper, perfect for sharing on a afternoon or evening.

The Happily Ever After Hamper:

Pop open the Taittinger and tuck into a wide selection of treats!

This hamper has a definite celebratory feel and would be great for catchups with old friends!

Enjoy such delicious pairings as award-winning British cheese with crisp Scottish water biscuits and add tangy red onion marmalade. Then savour smoked salmon, hand-baked crisps and more. Finish with a traditional cream tea!

An absolute feast for a happy afternoon in the garden.

Day at the Races Hamper:

Spread out the picnic blanket and dive into this splendid collection of British favourites.

Float around the garden enjoying Chapel Down’s refreshing Bacchus White Wine and their delightful English Sparkling Wine!  Just perfect for early summer days. For those who prefer red wine, there’s a bottle of delicious, full-bodied, M. Chapoutier Belleruche- Cotes du Rhone.

From caramel sea salt fudge to buttery shortbread, vintage organic cheddar to spicy mixed nuts, there’s something for everyone in this luxury hamper!

Happy days.

These are just 3 from a wide range of hampers we have that are suitable for May gatherings, including wine hampers and non-alcoholic hampers (you should try our sparkling Elderflower drink!).

We also have a popular ‘make your own’ range, where YOU choose the size and contents of your hamper. You can design your own feast to suit your guests…. perhaps for those with specific dietary needs or for younger guests.

Choosing one of our food and drink hampers certainly takes stress out of catering AND our delivery is rapid and reliable, so you can host that last-minute party!

If you’re ever in need of gift ideas, our luxury food and wine hampers make fantastic presents. Carefully presented in beautiful, keepsake wicker hampers or in elegant gift boxes, they’re exciting to receive, thrilling to open and the quality, well, unsurpassable!
