Sips, snacks and tastes of Arran at Picnic

Brodick has a new place to eat and drink right at the pier. Picnic is a deli-café-bar built around food and drink made on Arran, from the island's cheese and oatcakes to its whisky, beer and tablet. For the Arran Festival of Food and Drink it is launching new wine and cocktail menus, with snacks to go with them, small tasters to try and plenty of chat about the island's food. It runs from 23 October to 1 November at Picnic on The Pier, Brodick. Collect four stamps on your Festival Passport sticker around the festival and you are entered into a free draw for a hamper of Arran goodies and whisky.
