Where to get perfect picnic hampers around Perth

Love it or hate it, winter is coming — which is why it’s a must to enjoy the outdoor warmth while we still can. One of the best ways to do it? With a picnic, of course.

Whether you’re looking for a cosy date idea or a lowkey activity for Mother’s Day, a picnic is the perfect way to spend quality time with your loved ones while savouring the sunshine and indulging in delicious treats.

Plus, Perth is home to some of the most picturesque picnic spots you could ask for – the ideal backdrop for your day out.

Best of all, though, preparing your picnic feast doesn’t have to fall on your shoulders – here are some of the best businesses selling pre-made picnic hampers in Perth.

Avenue Hampers

No picnic is complete without wine, chocolate, and cheese (no picnic we want to attend, anyway). Thanks to Avenue Hampers, you can get all these delicacies and more wrapped in beautifully presented baskets and boxes. With hampers available for every group size and price point — ranging from $99-$399 — you’re sure to find out suited to your needs. Australia-wide delivery is available, as well as collection from their Wangara warehouse. If you’d like to pick up your box, you’ll need to call or email in advance to set up a day and time.

Delissimo

Delissimo doesn’t just offer some of Perth’s best cold cuts — it also sells some of its best picnic boxes, packed with tasty delights of all kinds. Cheese, meat, wine, sandwiches, cupcakes, macarons — you name it and Delissimo probably has it. Depending on which one you choose, a hamper will set you back anywhere from $55-$185. Delivery is available within Perth, or you can collect your order from Delissimo’s storefront, located in East Victoria Park.

Garnished & Grazing

A heads-up to all vegans and vegetarians: you don’t have to miss out on the fun due to your dietary restrictions. Specialising in plant-based platters, Garnished & Grazing offers an assortment of moreish spreads in their grazing boxes. Beyond the staples of crackers, dips and hummus, and fresh fruit and veg, they also serve goodies like vegan sausage rolls, cupcakes, and dairy-free chocolate. When choosing your box, you can even add extra dietary requirements, such as nut-free or gluten-free. Boxes are priced between $50 and $130, and both delivery and pick-up options are available.

Gather & Graze Perth

They say that variety is the spice of life — and at Gather & Graze, that’s exactly what you’ll get. From kids’ lolly boxes to antipasto boards to breakfast packs, their selection of picnic boxes is second to none. Each box’s contents are equally varied, catering to all taste buds and occasions. In the mood for an assortment of meats, cheeses, and crackers? You’ve got it. Dying for mouth-watering baked goods (think: waffles, croissants, and danishes)? You’ll find ’em here. Need a variety of filling finger foods — from sandwiches to sushi — to serve a large group? Gather & Graze has you covered.

The fine print: all orders require a minimum of 24 hours’ notice. Free delivery* is available to most Perth suburbs, while some may incur a small fee. Gather & Graze is also closed until May 9, 2024. However, they are still accepting orders for dispatch after that date.

Ginger & Ivy

It doesn’t get much more original than Ginger & Ivy’s picnic boxes, which not only feature tasty treats but allusions to some of pop culture’s most iconic films. Mean Girls fans will love the Wednesdays We Wear Pink box, which includes an ensemble of sweets and two pink drinks of your choosing. There’s also the Wonderful World of Oz box, an Emerald-themed box perfect for mint, apple and lime lovers. Catering to all budgets, the boxes range from $50-$180. Ginger & Ivy is open from Thursday to Sunday and offers both delivery and collection options.

Tapas Addict

With small, medium, and large grazing boxes on offer, there’s something to suit every occasion at Tapas Addict. There’s also a variety of food items on offer, from the classics like meats and cheeses to more unique options like bruschetta and cheeseburger sliders. Pricing starts at $65 per box, and delivery and pick-up options (from their Leederville storefront) are available. Orders are typically confirmed within 24-48 hours, so you’ll need to submit your request at least a couple of days before your event.

If you’d like to learn how to construct your own grazing platter, you can even check out Tapas Addict’s masterclass. In this interactive lesson, you’ll learn how to select different types of cheeses, where to source your ingredients, and how to aesthetically design your boards.
