With summer fast approaching and those open spaces beckoning, grab friends, family and colleagues and head outside for the ultimate picnic experience - courtesy of Shish.

Packed full of healthy, flavoursome dishes including Shish’s speciality grilled wraps, these delicious picnic hampers offer an altogether more exotic alternative to the usual bland sandwiches and sausage rolls.

Simply collect your hamper and make the most out of summer in the city with a trip to Hoxton Square, Hyde Park or Gladstone Park, each conveniently located near your local Shish restaurant.

Shish’s light bites hamper, available for £12.50, is perfect for those impromptu picnics and contains a choice of four cold mezze dishes, a bread basket and two drinks.

Mix and match your medley of mezze from the imaginative selection available on Shish’s Classic menu.  Appetising choices include Chinese green bean salad, dressed with soy, ginger, garlic, sesame oil and seeds; Lebanese aubergine salad, blended with tahini, lemon, paprika and a hint of garlic; and roasted red pepper marinated in roasting oil with crumbled feta.

For a more hearty picnic, enjoy Shish’s deluxe hamper, available for £19.50 and featuring two drinks, four cold mezze with pitta chips as well as a choice of two main meals from Shish’s selection of healthy and delicious wraps and summer salads.

Choose from a Mediterranean chicken wrap or Afghan chicken wrap, each using succulent pieces of marinated chicken individually rolled with fresh vegetables in pitta bread and available with a choice of tahini sauce, chilli sauce or mayonnaise.  Alternatively, opt for a crisp summer salad made with seasonal ingredients and available in a variety of meat and vegetarian options.

To quench your thirst while you bask in the sunshine, both picnic offerings are completed by two drinks available from a choice of bottled beer, freshly squeezed juice or mineral water and included in the price.

For those special occasions or a little pleasure after a hard day’s work, supplement the beverages in your preferred picnic hamper with a bottle of chilled rose wine for an extra £5.00 on top of each basic hamper price.

Each picnic is designed for two people to share, contains cutlery, cups and napkins and comes beautifully presented in its own individual box.
