What customers say
Customers overwhelmingly adore the Picnic at Ascot Buckingham basket for its stunning traditional design and high quality. The hand-woven willow construction offers an elegant presentation, making it a favorite for special occasions and gifting. Its comprehensive utility is a major draw, as the set includes complete settings for four, featuring ceramic plates, stainless steel cutlery, and wine glasses. While the overall aesthetic and functionality are highly praised, some users note that the durability of smaller hardware, like straps and hinges, does not always match the premium price of the main basket. Despite minor concerns about accessory longevity, the basket successfully elevates outdoor dining, delivering exceptional charm and justifying its status as a beloved, high-end purchase.
Know before you buy
No, the basket and its components are not dishwasher safe. We recommend hand washing the melamine plates, stainless steel flatware, and glass wine glasses to maintain their quality.
The basket features an insulated compartment designed to keep your food and beverages chilled during your outing. For best results, we recommend adding a small ice pack to maintain the temperature for longer periods.
The set includes authentic glass wine glasses to provide a more elevated dining experience. Please handle them with care when packing and transporting the basket.
The set comes with four 10-inch melamine plates, which are large enough to accommodate a full meal. Melamine is a durable, shatter-resistant material ideal for outdoor use.
While the natural willow construction is sturdy, the weight will depend on how much food and drink you pack inside. The integrated top carry handle is designed for comfortable, balanced transport.
