Spring is in the air and summer is just around the corner, so picnics in the park are a must. Taking the picnic premise and elevating it to something wonderful are the folks at Butler For Hire, who bring catered picnics to Amsterdam’s Vondelpark.

This Netherlands-based service runs from now until August and for €30 your experience includes a butler sent to your patch of grass with crystal glasses, picnic rugs, china crockery, pillows and of course the food, a delightful menu of hams, cheeses, breads, jams, chicken, salads and wine. For an extra indulgence and parting with a few more Euro’s your menu can include Prosecco, champagne, lobster, oysters... the whole nine yards. And when you’re all full up, alert your Butler and they return to clear up your mess. This is starting to sound like the perfect picnic scenario, all of the fun and none of the hassle.

Butler For Hire will also cater your dinner or breakfast, get that silver spoon treatment in the comfort of your own home. We love this, and with trend for supperclubs on the up, we can see the likes of bespoke affordable catering services like this taking off too …Now how can we get a butler for everyday?
