Sparkling wine, hummus, olives and deli meats are becoming firm favourites.
It seems our picnics are getting posher.
A new survey has found gone are the days of sausage rolls, cheese sandwiches and warm lemonade, because 48% of people like to bring healthy, homemade salads when eating al fresco instead.
Sparkling wine, hummus, olives and deli meats are becoming firm favourites in picnic baskets too, with 46 percent of people trying to impress friends by bringing artisan treats.
Sandwiches, cans of beer, flasks of tea and plastic cutlery are now seen as old fashioned for a family picnic.
