Pique Food
Pique prepares and delivers homemade picnics throughout London. From weekend brunches and birthday breakfasts to leisurely lunches, Pique has a range of selections on offer. Of the lot, we like the idea of a weekend brunch hamper, which comes with a choice of mini bagels; blueberry pancakes with maple syrup and berries; ham and gruyere-filled mini croissants; dark chocolate overnight oats with toasted coconut and raspberries; iced tea or coffee; and berry, banana and peanut butter smoothies. The seasonal menus focus on picnic classics with modern twists and are packaged in disposable, compostable and plastic-free packaging.
