\t\t\t\t\t\tCricket fans can make their visits to Lord’s extra delicious this year with a sumptuous picnic hamper from The Ginger Pig, London’s iconic artisan butcher and delicatessen.<\/p>\n

The Ginger Pig will deliver a variety of picnic hampers for the men’s Test Matches and ODI at the Home of Cricket this year. Inspired by a traditional cricket tea, each picnic hamper includes breakfast, a two or\u00a0three-course lunch and afternoon tea. There will be a banquet of terrines, scotch eggs,\u00a0sandwiches and buttery homemade cakes to savour from opening bell to last ball.<\/p>\n

The star of the show is The Ginger Pig\u2019s new Batter\u2019s Sandwich, a towering, deep-filled\u00a0feast with layer upon layer of slow-roast meat, cured trout or marinated and chargrilled\u00a0seasonal produce, sandwiched in a rustic ciabatta and loaded with pickles and aioli.<\/p>\n

Afternoon tea is a refined affair, with a scotch quail\u2019s egg or savoury tart, a luscious\u00a0lemon and raspberry Battenburg celebrating MCC\u2019s signature colours and \u2013 of course \u2013 freshly baked scones with lashings of clotted cream and blackcurrant jam.<\/p>\n

These tremendously proper picnics are handmade by The Ginger Pig\u2019s skilled butchers,\u00a0bakers and chefs in their Bermondsey butchery and kitchens, and \u2013 as you\u2019d expect \u2013 sourcing is of the highest calibre. Expect free range and native breed meats, sustainably\u00a0caught fish and seafood and exceptional fresh produce. With an abundance of green\u00a0spaces at Lord\u2019s, Ginger Pig Picnics can be enjoyed from your seat if you don\u2019t want to\u00a0miss a ball, or find a picnic table or patch of grass to enjoy it from.<\/p>\n

One of the founding stalls at London\u2019s famous Borough Market, The Ginger Pig has been\u00a0curing, cooking and baking in the capital for over 25 years, and now their culinary team\u00a0will be producing these decadent picnic hampers, with menus to delight every guest no\u00a0matter the dietary preference \u2013 meat lovers, pescatarians, vegetarians and vegans\u00a0alike.<\/p>\n

James De Groot, Chief Food and Beverage Officer at MCC said: \u201cThe Ginger Pig is\u00a0undoubtedly one of London\u2019s favourite butchers and delicatessens and so we\u2019re\u00a0delighted to be working with them to bring their iconic style and taste to Lord\u2019s. It is well\u00a0known that cricket and food go hand-in-hand and we are sure that The Ginger Pig\u00a0picnics will elevate our customers\u2019 experience and make their day at the Home of\u00a0Cricket a special one.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tim Wilson, Founder of The Ginger Pig said: \u201cA little over 20 years ago I opened The Ginger Pig just down the road from Lord\u2019s Cricket Ground in St John\u2019s Wood. It now\u00a0gives all of us in the business much pride and delight to be able to offer some of our\u00a0products at the Test matches. These picnics are a celebration of our roots in high\u00a0quality farming, sourcing and butchery, and we all hope you find the hampers as\u00a0exciting as the cricket.\u201d<\/p>\n
