With a wonderful abundance of farmers' markets and farm shops in Gloucestershire you are never far way from a natural pantry.

What could be more enjoyable than picking up a few items, placing them in your cool bag and exploring the Cotswolds, Forest of Dean or Stroud Valleys.

This is what chef Robert Rees puts in his hamper:

Cucumber Days Cottage Apple Juice and a bottle of Freeminers Speculation Ale
pepper Cerney Goats Cheese, Birdwood Blue and some Charles Martell Single Gloucester - keep nice and chilled and bare in mind that if you are using unpasturised Cheeses to let any pregnant woman know.
pumpkin Some Apples and Pears from Hayles Fruit Farm
tomato Bookmaker Sandwich - (a traditional Beef Sandwich taken to the races).
Frocester Fayre Sirloin Steaks pan roasted with Selsley Black Olive Mustard. Placed in either some Ciabatta or WI Market Bread. Topped with Duchy Mixed Salad Leaves and Tony Free Watercress.
pepper A few various Chutneys from Kitchen Garden Preserves- not forgetting their creamy Horseradish !!
cucumber Some sliced Tomatoes from Over Farm with chopped Spring Onions, Ham from Duntisbourne Meats, Cold Spicy Sausages from Adeys, perhaps a little Trout Pate from Purely Organics, Celery from Duncan Paget and Little Gems and Herbs from Duchy and LETS allotments.

Dont forget - for pudding get some fresh mixed Summer Berries from Falfield Fruit Farm sprinkled with Lavender flowers from the Lavender Garden Company for a twist of exoticness.
