The sun is coming out so it’s time to start dining outside again - and you can get some seriously pretty picnic sets and cool bags you can use.
As soon as the sun comes out, the group chats start buzzing with one thing: picnic plans - and if you’re going to dine alfresco, you may as well do it in style.
Luckily, designer company Sara Miller London has just launched its outdoor dining collection in celebration of its 10th anniversary - and it’s just as pretty as you would expect from a brand that is known for vibrant prints, beautiful colours and luxe details.
As well as being lovely to look at, these are also practical pieces designed for everything from park picnics to garden parties. Here are our standout buys that will instantly elevate your outdoor set-up.
If you want a grab-and-go picnic solution that is as stylish as it is useful, this is it. Not only is it a cooler bag, it actually comes pre-packed with everything you need for two; plates, wine glasses and even gold-toned cutlery.
The backpack design makes it easy to carry, while the insulated compartment keeps food fresh and drinks chilled. Add in that rich blue colour and peacock print and it feels more luxury day out than last-minute lunch. This is a fashion accessory as much as it is an essential outdoor dining accessory, and it’s actually our favourite from the collection.
A matching picnic blanket is available.

Let’s be honest, paper plates can ruin the vibe when you’re having a picnic. They can blow away if there’s a gust of wind, a spilled drink can mean ruined plate and ruined food, and they’re not always strong enough to hold everything you want ti eat.
These reusable sets stop all that - and they have a playful flamingo print and a glossy finish. They’re made from lightweight, durable plastic, meaning no stress about breakages, and they’re easy to clean after.
Pair plates and bowls together for a coordinated look that feels effortlessly put together.
