Gourmet Picnics

Based on the beautiful Isle of Man, we're lucky enough to be surrounded by amazing food producers.

Made with seafood landed just a few miles from our door, and prime lamb and beef from the farms surrounding us, we deliver our chef-made picnics all over the Island, to visitors and residents.

Below is our sample menu. All of the sumptuous courses in our picnics are handmade by our team at Glentruan Cottage, Bride. This means that you have the option of making your menu as bespoke as you wish.

Our picnics can be delivered within 48 hours of ordering with biodegradable and/or recyclable crockery, cutlery and napkins in a lovely whicker basket.

Each and every one of our picnics is made to order and are largely governed by the seasons and what is available locally. With our fish supplied by Moores, lamb from Smeale Farm, Ballavair Galloway Beef from Ballavair Farm, vegetables either grown in the Vivaldi Catering kitchen garden or by Bryan Radcliffe, local cheeses made from the milk of our Island’s free ranging cows and goats, the quality is by far second to none. The Island even has its own quality chocolatier – Cocoa Red, supplying liquid sea salt truffles and award winning fig & port pralines, to name a couple. And then there’s the Apple Orphanage supplying you with the most delicious Manx juice, cider & more……the list is endless. All food is sourced locally wherever possible, it is traceable, it is healthy, packed with vitamins and minerals and it is super delicious!
