Ultimate picnic at the ultimate picnic venue
The Ultimate Picnic has been hitting the national tabloids, local radio and regional TV stations in the heat of the scorching summer sun in the most beautiful hotel grounds setting in the lake district.
The luxury picnic at Storrs Hall, is priced at £1,566.60 for two people.
Instead of pre-packed sandwiches, packets of crisps, carrot sticks and supermarket dips, this ultimate summer picnic includes such delicacies as Beluga Caviar, British Rare White Beef, Scottish Lobster and an Exotic Fruit Trifle with real Gold Leaf Shavings.
As the very best food should also be washed down by something equally special, the picnic comes complete with bottles of Louis Roederer Cristal Champagne and Chateau Lafite-Rothschild.
General Manager, Jan van Stipnann says: “My aim was to create the ultimate picnic for a very special occasion. So we selected all the items we think should go into the perfect picnic where money really is no object." For those who think the £1,566.60 price tag is too much to swallow, the hotel can also produce picnic hampers priced at £17.95 and £22.50 a head.
