OUR MISSION

We LOVE to feed you. That's it. That's the heart of everything we do at PikNiktable.

We're a nomadic kitchen that follows the sun and the seasons, creating spaces where food becomes the reason people gather, linger and connect. Whether it's a casual tiffin tin pickup or a candlelit feast that stretches late into the night, we believe every meal should feel like a celebration.

Nicki Merali - founder & head chef

PRIVATE CHEF

Whether it’s a birthday party for 15, a brand launch for 40 or a yoga retreat in Kerala…….

Whatever’s being celebrated and however many chairs are round the table, Nicki can cater for it, with a menu specially tailored to you.

From intimate suppers to corporate dinners, brand activations and retreats, we bring the same abundance, creativity and soul to every table we cook for.

Menus designed around you: seasonal ingredients, Ayurvedic wisdom where it fits and always the art of feeding people so well they never want to leave.

At PikNiktable our location may change with the seasons, as we chase the seasons from Highgate in London to our Piknik restaurant in Kerala where it all started…

Kerala Soul Space

Find us in Varkala, Kerala from November to March

Our original home, where we feed the surf and yoga community with delicious home-cooked dishes served up in traditional Indian tiffin tins. What's at market today? Check the blackboard. Fancy a refill? We've got you. Evening music events happen under the stars with cushions, candlelight and seriously good hang out vibes. It's casual, it's soulful, it's where PikNiktable began.

Supperclubs

We love dining 'sadhya style' - big fresh banana leaves adorned with delicious curries that transport you straight to South India.

Join us for our classic supper clubs where strangers become friends over chef's table cooking.

Or book a private bespoke supper club for your birthday, anniversary or just because. We'll design a menu as unique as your gang and bring the magic to your table.

Hosting your own gathering? Let us take care of the feast. We cater from our home kitchen, delivering beautiful food that arrives ready to wow your guests. They serve themselves, you actually get to enjoy your party.

Supperclubs in Highgate run from April to October

Testimonials

  • Wow, there is nothing like the Piknik table! I first discovered Nicki's cooking at an event and it instantly stood out - unique dishes made with fresh, local ingredients. I then attended her supper club at Piknik table which was even more special, vibrant and unique experience. Nicki has this incredible gift that starts with the dish on the table and somehow radiates through the entire space, creating a warm, comforting atmosphere that makes you feel completely at home no matter where in the world you're from! The supper club experience itself was truly special and full of heart. Each dish feels so intentional and beautifully balanced. I left Piknik table with not just a nourished belly and but a full heart.

  • “Beautifully prepared and tasty lunch served in a cute Tiffin tin. Set in a peaceful little garden at the top of the hill we came three times during our stay in Varkala (best and most loyal customers) and were served a different dish every visit. All depends what's in the market and what takes their fancy on the day. Had homemade ice cream to top it off on two of the days. Highly recommend.”

  • “Nicki’s supper club is a real culinary adventure in so many ways. Many of the Indian-inspired flavours and textures were new to me, but the whole meal was perfectly balanced, thoughtfully composed and beautifully presented.”

  • “Nicki worked her magic at our retreat to create brunch, snack and dinner for our group every day: Indian-influenced vegetarian food bursting with colour and flavour: exciting to look at and even better to devour…. And an added bonus for me was that over the 5 days my bloating that I usually suffer from disappeared and my stomach was a lot happier (and flatter!). A true gastronomic wellness Queen!”

    Joan Jean - Piknik, Kerala

  • Had an absolutely delicious lunch at PikNik, the food was so fresh and we haven't had anything like it since coming to India 2 months ago. The whole vibe of the cafe is really nice and would definitely recommend! The owner was also really accommodating to gluten free which is always appreciated
