Turn Chilly Days into Cosy Adventures with a Winter Picnic
Who says picnics are just for summer? Winter picnics have their own special charm —think crisp air, frost-covered landscapes, and the joy of a warm, hearty feast outdoors. At The Colourful Garden Company, we believe that picnicking isn’t bound by seasons. So, bundle up, embrace the beauty of a snowy UK winter, and rediscover the simple pleasure of dining al fresco!
Why Winter Picnics Are So Wonderful
Picture this: a soft wool blanket spread over snow-dusted grass, steaming thermoses of mulled wine or cocoa, and hearty dishes that warm both body and soul. There’s something magical about braving the cold to enjoy nature’s beauty, turning any grey day into an adventure.
Winter picnics are also quieter—fewer people, more peaceful surroundings, and the satisfaction of doing something unexpected.
A Dish to Delight: Yotam Ottolenghi’s Stilton and Butternut Squash Quiche with Membrillo. For the perfect winter picnic menu, we recommend this exquisite recipe by the legendary Yotam Ottolenghi. This quiche is the ultimate comfort food, it’s indulgent yet balanced and pairs beautifully with a crisp winter salad or even some freshly baked crusty bread.

Winter Picnic Essentials
To make your winter picnic a success, don’t forget:
• Warm Layers: Thick scarves, gloves, and thermal blankets will keep you cozy.
• Insulated Baskets: Keep food warm and drinks hot for longer.
• Mood Lighting: Fairy lights or lanterns add a magical touch, especially if you’re picnicking at twilight.
• Portable Heat: A small, safe-to-use heater or hot water bottles can be a game-changer.
