Whittard Print E-mail
The very name conjures aromas of fresh roasted coffee and imported tea, but it’s not all about mugs, cuppas and novelty tea-pots in our favourite gift haven. A visit to Whittard’s is always a mood-lifting treat with their colourful range of seasonal ceramics, quirky foodie accessories and must-have kitchen items such as that milk frother you can’t start the day without!

Picnic Paradise.

whittard01.jpgThe air is warm, the sun is out (or trying very hard) and the grass is green and manicured for picnic rugs and alfresco feasting. Whittard’s ‘summer living’ collection – decorated with pretty bulrush and dragonfly motifs in fuchsia and sky blue - has everything you need to enjoy outdoor entertaining. 

Serve drinks in beautifully decorated wine glasses (£2.50 each), spruce up your Iced Tea using Ice Cube Star Moulds (£4), try making your own Frappe with an Ice Crusher (£10).

Serve lunch on coordinating dinnerware and bowls (from £3 each) and lie back on your sun-soaked rug, safe in the knowledge that the pretty but practical handmade Food Cover featuring stunning dragonflies and daisies (£10) will protect your cold meats, quiche, salad and fruit from pesky flies and wasps.

Children are happily entertained with homemade lollies using Ice Lolly Kit (£4.50) or treated to an ice cream sundae in special Ice Cream Bowls (£3) using Ice Cream Scoops (£3) to get the professional effect.  

Why not take Novelty Drinks dragonfly Coolers to a BBQ (£4), or a Cocktail shaker set (£8) accessorized with funky umbrellas?

Or simply surprise a friend with an entire Picnic Set with plates, bowls, cutlery and glasses (£15)!

All you need is some food and drinks – and there’s the best quality selection in London in Whiteley’s very own Food Inc market outside our store entrance. Visit the wine store, the deli and cheese counters, bakery and patisserie, fresh fruit and veg – and you're all set for a relaxing day in the sunshine!
