John Lewis Patriotic Picnic Service

After it's popular bunting classes, John Lewis is set to launch yet another charming initiative – a bespoke hamper service. Throughout the Olympics the aptly named 'Patriotic Picnic Service' will provide shoppers – whether they be couples, families or a group of friends – with everything it takes to make the perfect picnic from strictly the best of British foods, and all lovingly prepared by their John Lewis Foodhall from Waitrose specialists. It's going to be typically 'John Lewis' affair (we nod our heads approvingly) with gastro delights such as leek and potato tartlet, marmalade carved ham, Teisen Lap Cake and tons more. You can seek advice from the pros and go on a mini-tour of the foodhall and stock up on picnic essentials at the same time (a pack of Union Jack napkins is £3.75). Perfect sustenance for a summer of outdoor Olympics screenings. Provided the rain holds off.
