Childrens Picnic Packs

Picnic Packs

Give your little ones a picnic experience, without needing to pack and carry lunch around, by picking up one of our healthy children’s picnic packs from our restaurant. They’ll also have the fun of choosing the items themselves, as well as puzzles to complete on the picnic bags.
