Hamper time! Picnic with the Best of Borough Market

After making a bit of a hit last festive season with their genuinely excellent Christmas hampers, the traders at Borough Market (scions of an ancient tradition) have got together again to create a Best of Borough hamper for summer. Lovers of fine food and independent local traders (tick, tick) can now order a toothsome market-stall selection tailored to all manner of occasions from a v classy pancake brunch to a posh park picnics and an extra-extra Sunday lunch.

The traders also have an impressive and reasonable range of bread-, veg-, meat- and cheese-filled subscription boxes packed with all the umami goodness you would expect from a browse at Borough Market: regulars can subscribe for delivery and samplers can get £5 off by entering the code TIMEOUT at the checkout. You’re most welcome.
