Picnics by Ogilvy & More

An Ogilvy & More picnic is the ultimate way to elevate your summer breaks, making it perfect for both lazy afternoons in the sunshine and large-scale corporate or private events & parties. Known as local "Curators of Taste" based in Sherborne, Dorset, Ogilvy & More ditches the soggy supermarket sandwiches in favour of decadent hampers, artisanal grazing boards, and exquisite individual picnic boxes that bring restaurant-quality dining outdoors. Whether you are planning a relaxed weekend escape to the country, a milestone birthday, or a corporate summer gathering, a bespoke picnic spread from Ogilvy & More provides a luxurious, hassle-free, and delightfully delicious solution.
Why an Ogilvy & More Picnic is the Perfect Summer Treat?
1. Curated to Perfection
As true Curators of Taste, founder James and his team work alongside independent food experts to source the finest British and West Country produce. When you order a hamper or platter, you are receiving tried-and-tasted delicacies, from West Country cheeses to exquisite charcuterie, guaranteeing a vibrant and mouth-watering al fresco meal.
2. Zero Stress, All the Glory
Half the struggle of organising the perfect picnic is the military-level planning, shopping, and prep required. By letting the Ogilvy & More team handle the heavy lifting, you completely skip the stress of cooking and packing. Their picnic boxes and sharing platters are expertly prepared, allowing you to simply arrive, open your basket, and enjoy.
3. Completely Tailored to Your Event
No two summer events are exactly the same, which is why Ogilvy & More doesn't do "one-size-fits-all" catering. They offer a range of options, from individual picnic boxes for two to much larger, grander feasts meant to feed groups of friends, family, or colleagues. If you want to pair your spread with something specific from their fully stocked food hall and cellar—like a premium bottle of champagne or fine wine—you can easily customize your order to suit the occasion.
4. Stunning Presentation
A great summer event is as much about the aesthetic as it is the food. Ogilvy & More brings their trademark high-quality look and feel to your picnic, ensuring exceptional presentation that makes taking your meal outdoors feel like a proper, elegant occasion.
How to Get Your Picnic
Planning your al fresco feast is simple, as the team offers a few easy ways to secure your order:
