What makes this different from an ordinary wicker picnic basket?

The circular design is arranged around a central cooling compartment, with separate holders for the accompanying glasses. This creates a dedicated presentation for serving refreshments at an outdoor gathering, rather than a conventional basket designed simply to transport food and accessories.

Are the glasses included with the basket?

Yes. The manufacturer confirms that the basket is supplied with stemmed glasses. They sit in individual holders around the outer edge, keeping them separate from the central cooler section.

How does the central cooling compartment work?

The cooler provides an insulated space for chilled refreshments, with a zip fastening to close the compartment. For suitable temperature control, contents should be chilled beforehand and packed with appropriate cooling packs when needed. The compartment does not actively refrigerate food or drinks.

Can this basket be used for garden parties and outdoor events?

Yes. Its decorative construction is suited to catered gatherings where refreshments and glassware need to be presented together. Position it on a stable, level surface and keep it sheltered from persistent rain to protect the natural willow and fabric.

How should I maintain the basket after use?

Remove the glasses and clean them separately according to their care requirements. Wipe the cooling compartment and allow it to dry before closing. Dust the willow with a soft brush and store the basket in a dry, ventilated location.
