Feast on the ‘Best of British’

In 2025 we teamed up with British Fine Foods to bring you the most delicious gourmet picnics available. Exclusively for Hampton Court Palace Festival, we’ve curated two amazing picnic offerings for you to enjoy ahead of the concert: The Courtier’s Best of British Picnic and the King’s Gourmet Hamper.

King’s Gourmet Hamper

For the ultimate indulgent spread, spoil yourself with the King’s Gourmet Hamper, a four-course gourmet menu served in a beautiful wicker cooler basket (which is yours to keep), paired with a fine wine or chilled bottle of champagne.

Perfect for two people to enjoy ahead of the performance, the Courtier’s Best of British Picnic includes a delectable spread of dishes and is paired with a fine wine or chilled bottle of champagne. Not sure you’ll polish it all off ahead of the performance? Store your delicious leftovers in our Picnic Cloakroom to pick up at the end of the evening.
