What do you take on a child-free picnic? Something nicer than the standard sandwich, but need to carry everything ourselves.

What sort of fancy pudding? It'll be 34 degrees and we'll be doing a sport activity, so don't want to take alcohol.

Strawberries. A nice loaf of bread or (depending on logistics) baguette. Cheese, ham and pate/crab meat. Some butter. Fancy éclairs or other cream cakes for pudding.

DD, her partner and I had a picnic at the local forest/sand dunes/beach recently, which comprised roast chicken legs, Scotch eggs, green salad, quiche, grapes, sandwiches, and a Sicilian lemon tart with Tayberries from their garden. And very nice it was too, sitting at a rustic wooden table under tall Scots pines and birches, with a jay chattering overhead.

Will things like chicken and brie keep in a bag when it's so hot (and the bag is in the sun all morning)?

Charcuterie board and accompaniments like olives etc any thing that won't give you annoying sticky fingers
