Picnic basket (6)

I believe the answer is:

hamper

'picnic basket' is the definition.
(as in a food hamper)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for hamper that I've seen before include "Obstruct with picnic basket" , "Prevent free movement" , "Christmas basket" , "Obstruct or delay with food basket" , "Hinder, impede" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent, The Mirror, the Evening Standard and The Times.
