We are Roman Way Brewery, an experimental micro-brewery based at the Royal Ordnance Depot in Weedon, Northamptonshire.

We are called Roman Way Brewery because we are located close to Watling Street, the first Roman Road built in Britain. This link to our Roman past gives us inspiration for the names of all our brews.

Our mission is to provide great real ale! Whether you visit us directly and sample one of our onsite events at the tap room or alternatively you discover our beers in one of the many free houses that you will find across the Northants region, we hope you enjoy the experience.

All our beer is hand-crafted and brewed using traditional methods. We use the highest-quality ingredients to ensure we create the best pint we can – always made with love, pride and care.

We are thrilled to have award winning Moo Hatch back for their thrird time this summer. Lots of you will know them as they are local to Towcester, often to be found in their usual week day haunt of the layby at the far end of Aldi car park, but they get around to lots of other venues too, Bugbrooke Rugby Club, Towcester Mill, and various other summer festivals and events.

Described as handmade smash burgers they have to be seen (and tried) to be believed! They are out of this world, stacked high, rammed with all sorts of extras, the choice is endless. Stunning and fabulous and utterly delicious! Check out the photos. They do great chips too. Yum yum to all of that!

Very pleased to have Hyderabadi Dhaba back to Picnic this year bringing their great Indian food. Coming from Milton Keynes, they are always out and about around MK, food fairs, corporate events and other venues near and far. They do the very best Indian fast food – chicken tacos, tandoori chicken, lamb tikka, lamb kofta, wraps and so much more. Looking forward to having some of their great taste of India.

Returning this year delighted to welcome back Andrea of Malavoglia Pizza. You all certainly kept Andrea very busy last year because he sold out! So you clearly liked his fab pizzas, yay. Andrea is Italian, and so is pizza, so he knows a thing or two about making the absolute best wood fired pizza around. Ciao Andrea, looking forward to catching up with you again at Pattishall Picnic in the Park this summer.

We are excited to announce that Cookie Babes will be joining us this year with their delicious desserts. Great to support a local business too as they are based in Kislingbury.

Cookie Babes will be delighting us with their fully loaded cookies and cookie pies. Gooey on the inside and chewy on the outside, loaded with cookie and creme sauce, oreo biscuits, chocolate buttons, chocolate chips, chocolate chunks and all sorts of your other favourite treats. You decide! Yummy indulgent desserts with that festival vibe. Welcome to Picnic Cookie Babes, great to have you onboard.

Delighted to have Maya Street Food joining us this year based in Milton Keynes. They describe themselves as street food vendors offering gourmet food from around the world with the emphasis on Korean. So if you like Korean themed chicken, beef, tofu either sweet and sour, katsu curry, gyoza, bao buns, noodles or rice, these are the guys for you! See you in July Maya Street Food.

Delighted to have Wonky Donkey joining us again this year with their sweet treats. Yummy popcorn, dirty popcorn, sweets, candy floss, delicious milk shakes and one of the above makes your tongue go blue … but which one?!

Located just inside the hall, the café will be serving tea, coffee, and a variety of scrumptious cakes throughout the event. This year the Picnic Café is being organised and run by Iris and her helpers, raising money for Pattishall Playing Field charity, the very space where Picnic in the Park is taking place. Thank you Iris and team.

Wouldn’t be a festival without an ice cream van and here in Northamptonshire it has to be one from our local ice cream makers Gallones. Gallones Ice cream have been supporting us since the beginning so welcome back. Just what we need - a traditional ice cream van to help us cool down, we know it’s gonna be hot out there!
