About us
The Social Picnic Experience
At The Social Picnic, we take pride in crafting every picnic using the freshest seasonal produce, selected at its peak for exceptional flavour. Because we work with ingredients that shine in each season, our menus are ever evolving – ensuring you always enjoy something unique and delicious to enjoy. We’ve curated a range of picnic ideas to inspire you, but we know that everyone’s tastes are different. That’s why we’re always delighted to tailor your picnic to suit your preferences perfectly. All picnic prices are per person based on minimum of two people.
The Good Stuff
Every morning our brilliant team freshly prepares our picnics using premium, locally sourced ingredients chosen for their unrivalled freshness, flavour and quality. Each basket is thoughtfully packed in sustainable packaging with all the picnic essentials you need, including cutlery, plates, napkins and drinks, so you have everything you need for a relaxing and enjoyable experience.
Whether you’re planning an individual bespoke picnic or a large‑scale event, we tailor every detail to your needs.

Our Mission
The Social Picnic was founded on a simple belief: that beautifully crafted, rustic food has the power to bring people together. Our menus celebrate the land, the season, and the joy of sharing good food with good company.
We deliver elevated countryside dining – thoughtfully prepared, locally inspired, and designed to foster connection.
Every picnic is an invitation to slow down, savour quality ingredients, and experience a touch of rustic luxury wherever you choose to gather.
Our Foundations...
Carter Williamson began creating beautifully curated picnics in 2005, driven by a love of crafting magical moments meant to be shared. Inspired by memories of childhood picnics in New Zealand, Carter brings that same sense of joy, connection, and simplicity to the Isle of Wight. What began as a humble idea has grown into The Social Picnic – an experience‑driven brand that creates unforgettable moments for couples, families, friends, and businesses alike.
At the heart of our story is a simple belief: great food brings people together. It’s meant to be shared, savoured, and enjoyed in good company – perhaps with a glass of wine or a little bubbly to make the moment even more special.
