Whether it’s for a picnic in the New Forest with your friends or the perfect gift for someone special, Local Hampers are a fantastic way to support our local producers and to receive top quality food and drink, all in one basket.
From jams and chutneys to cheese and savoury bakes, to homemade cakes and confectionary. Even local wines, ales and local tea bags. There is a whole load of love and amazing produce that goes into local hampers! Most local hamper companies have a wide selection of hampers that you can choose from, so you can buy a hamper that suits you, or the person you are buying one for.
If you love sampling local food and drink, be sure to pay a visit to The New Forest Hamper Company in Sway. The shop has a wide selection of food and drink items as well as locally made cosmetics, gift cards and crafts.
Picnic hampers can be a little different to the gift hampers from some local hamper companies, with picnic hampers that can include ready made sandwiches, scones and clotted cream, to hampers that include charcuterie meats, cheeses, chutneys and freshly baked bread.
If you’re booking a break in the New Forest, some self-catering cottages, hotels, bed & breakfasts and holiday parks surprise guests with welcome hampers, full of locally produced essentials, including the likes of milk, bread, tea, coffee, eggs and sometimes even a homemade cake!
