Who doesn't love a relaxing picnic in this balmy summer weather, chilling under the shady trees or lazing in the sun, a great picnic basket packed with yummy goodies?

The Maslow Hotel is bringing back the ultimate summer picnic with its Sunday Society Picnics. Your mouth will water when you open your hamper, which is packed with goodies such as BBQ beef skewers, lamb koftas in rich tomato sauce, crispy pork belly with grilled apples, seafood paella, and sticky soy or spicy peri-peri chicken wings. Then tuck into the colder items such as fresh fruit skewers, herbed couscous salad and a mini cheese board with an artisanal bread station nearby. Finish with baked cheesecake, chocolate brownies and Red Velvet Opera Cake.

Each picnic has a dress-up theme, ranging from African Ankara, to Boho, to Tropical Havana! So you get to dress to impress too. Sounds like the perfect day out to us!
