Where to shop for the perfect picnic in Mayfair
15 May 2024 , by Janine KelsoEmbrace warmer summer days by shopping for the ultimate food hamper in Mayfair, perfect for picnics in Grosvenor Square or for summer events, like Royal Ascot.
Farm Shop
Find fresh and seasonal food products at Farm Shop in Mayfair's South Audley Street, with many ingredients coming from its 1000-acre free-range farm in Somerset. Perfect for picnics is its wine created from grapes grown on the estate; honey from its hives; and cider from the orchard. The 4000 sq ft shop also stocks a wide selection of artisan cheese, fruit, vegetables, heavenly baked goods, sauces and chutneys.
Comptoir Cafe & Wine and Brooks Street Mews Wine House
Choose a bottle or two of rose, white wine or champagne from an extensive wine list at Comptoir Cafe & Wine on Weighhouse Street, where more than 500 bottles are available. The ideal shopping pit stop, Comptoir is a cafe by day and a wine bar by night.
Alternatively, visit Brooks Street Mews Wine House, a shop and bar down a cobbled street behind Claridge's Hotel. Downstairs is a huge wine wall housing more than 150 wines from around the world.
The Connaught Patisserie by Nicolas Rouzaud
Indulge in cakes and pastries for the perfect picnic pudding at the Connaught Patisserie by Nicolas Rouzaud, which is famous for its much-loved Connaught house, a chocolate hazelnut cake.
