Picnic/packed lunch ideas for a day out?

[Chocolateheaven123]

It's my son's birthday next week and we're going out for the day. Taking a packed lunch/picnic with us instead of eating out to keep costs down, but there's a bit of flexibility with money to add things to the food shop, if that makes sense.

What things can we buy/make that are a bit more fancy than a standard 'cheese sandwich and crisps' lunch?

Sausage rolls
Mini quiches/fritata
Scotch eggs
Falafel
Indian snacks like samosa, onion bhaji
Paprika chicken skewers ( mini ones on cocktail sticks)
Switch your types of bread - pitas, wraps baguettes etc
Crudités and dip
Homemade cheese straws
How old is your son? I like nice salads but that does require cutlery and sitting down for long enough to eat which is sometimes tricky with a little one.

Mini pizzas
Kebabs
Bagels

pan bagnat Do make this -it’s amazing!

make some cheese and bacon scones
pizza pinweels
pastry pizza slices
quiche
pasties
sausage rolls.
French fancies
party rings
Cadbury gingers
choc dipped strawberries.
mini bagueetes that you cook in minutes

Thanks all, some great ideas youve given me 👍

I always take tubs of chopped up cucumber, carrot, radishes & cherry tomatoes and some kind of berry in the summer.
Scotch eggs go down well.
Could you buy a continental meat / cheese pack and take bake at home rolls or posh rolls from the bakery, thinking maybe tomato & olive bread or similar?
I get a net of mixed cheese portions as well, they go down well.
