There are few better pleasures than a summertime picnic, and the Athenaeum’s new hampers for couples bring five-star service to London’s Royal Parks. Sandwiched between Green Park, Hyde Park and St. James Park, guests staying at the hotel can picnic al-fresco in the ‘garden’ of their London home.
The Athenaeum’s lovingly prepared ‘Romantics Hamper’ is the perfect accompaniment to a romantic liaison. The menu includes a Bottle of Louis Roederer Champagne and a selection of gourmet treats such as English asparagus with olive oil and truffle vinaigrette, salmon and cream cheese and chive bagels and roast rib eye steak sandwiches with horseradish sauce.
For pudding the chef has created an indulgent, sweet finish of white chocolate covered strawberries, vanilla cheesecakes and chocolate brownies. Included in the hamper is a disposable camera to capture the day.
The Athenaeum staff are at hand to guide you to the best-hidden picnic hot spots around the surrounding Royal Parks. Romantics will love the secluded areas with attractive views tucked away from the hustle and bustle of Piccadilly, from the open spaces next to the Serpentine Lake to the cycle paths along Constitution Hill.
The Athenaeum’s ‘Romantics Hamper’ is priced at £99 for two people.
