| ‘Soggy sandwiches, lukewarm drinks
and the drudgery that goes in to creating a picnic can now be
a thing of the
past. Freshampers will deliver to any event within 100 miles
of London including Henley, Glynebourne and Ascot (and the
Millennium Stadium in Cardiff, if requested). The company has
five set menus and an assortment of canapés -ours included
appetizing Peking duck pancakes, Filo tarts with smoked salmon,
lime and dill (delicious) and fruit tartlets, which were refreshing
and cleansing. You get durable plates and glasses, napkins,
a tablecloth and cutlery, which can be recycled, and there
is also a good choice of reasonably priced drinks (a bottle
of Veuve Clicquot Ponsardin NV Brut costs £30). The minimum
order is for four people and prices start at £18 per
head (01962 773 771 ; www.freshampers.com).’
‘NUMBER ONE favourite came from freshampers (01962 773
771). Spicy Peking duck pancakes, chilli Mojo prawns followed
by
Thai rare
beef salad and fresh fruit kebabs were included.
Interesting concept, too: it arrived in a card board box with
added bin bags to throw everything away in. No washing up. £24.50
a head; prices from £22 a head.’
'We have had really good feedback about the whole thing from
clients. Some of them even took their Veuve Cliquot Pots away
with them as a souvenir!'
‘A great idea this one: Freshampers will deliver to
you wherever you are, so long as it’s 100 mile radius
of London. It comes in a refrigerated van, packed in a zingy
green and white box, complete with cutlery, napkins and plates – it’s
all so, so perfect for the beach. We love Menu 2 (Asian Beef
tarts with chilli and mint plus rosemary shortbread with feta
and cherry tomatoes)…’
‘The real downer about picnics is dragging home the
debris, which makes the new service from Freshampers such a
good idea. From £20 per head, smart young men will meet
you at your meadow of choice, bearing a completely disposable
hamper.
The delivery was very efficient – on time and you managed
to find the Pier without any difficulty
The food was well packed and chilled and and clearly marked
The quality, quantity and presentation of food was excellent
Our functions manager was clearly impressed
More importantly our client thoroughly enjoyed their meal and
were very complimentary
