Morrisons Is Now Selling Takeaway Picnics For Socially Distanced Days In The Park

With the lockdown rules having eased a little over the last couple of weeks, we've been descending on our local parks for socially distanced catch-ups and picnics.

And now, making things a whole lot easier, Morrisons has launched takeaway ready made picnic platters so you don't need to faff around making your own - and they look delicious.

The Picnic Platter For Two is £10 and features a selection of sweet and savoury snacks. There's hand prepared jam and cream scones, mini pork pies, cherry Bakewells, a pot of sharing strawberries, quiche Lorraine and a pot of fresh salad.

There are sandwiches, too - one ham and one tuna and sweetcorn. No squabbling though - you can just split everything!

There's something for kids too, with the supermarket giant also launching a children's takeaway picnic platter.

The mega cute selection is priced at £6 and serves two. It features hand prepared ham and cheese spread sandwiches, Babybel cheese, snack sized pork rolls, carrot and cucumber batons for sharing, butterfly buns, satsumas and a mega cute pair of gingerbread men.

Both platters are available for collection, all you need to do is head to the website, type in your postcode or local area and see if collection is available.

The current earliest collection date is Friday 12th June - just in time for a weekend feast! The platters will last for two days after purchase, although we don't think we'd have any trouble getting through this lot in one sitting.

All you need to do is bring along some plates, cutlery, drinks and a blanket/throw and you've got yourself a pretty impressive picnic spread!

If you don't fancy the traditional picnic, Morrisons' food to order range also includes a large continental platter - packed with chorizo, Milano salami, Parma ham, an Iberico meat selection, marinated anchovies, stuffed peppers, slow roasted tomatoes and a variety of olives.

Or, a continental sharing platter featuring Bavarian smoked cheese, Mexicana cheese, Italian herb ham, Milano salami, chorizo and Greek olives with feta.

Anyone else's stomach rumbling now?!
