A beautiful patio leaves you with the feeling you’re taking a holiday in your back garden. Add to that the new desire to eat in the garden and you’ve got the feeling that you’re enjoying a superb meal in luxurious surroundings.
Patio furniture with armrests, high back chairs and swivel rockers mean that you can be comfortable outside all day, and double as both sun lounging equipment and ideal accessories to outdoor dining. Make sure you choose a stain resistant fabric, so that grease and spills don’t ruin your evening. Buy half a dozen cheap waste paper bins and fill them with ice so each diner has a personal cooler beside their chair whether for beer, soft drinks or just to dabble their fingers in. As the ice melts, encourage them to pour the melt water on shady parts of the garden so it gets watered, and top up with more ice.
Today’s barbecue choices have never been greater. There are both natural gas and propane grills, portable fire pits, chimineas, charcoal-wood grills, portable grills and outdoor stoves. Choose equipment that is easy to clean, it’s no fun spending the day following a party cleaning up the grill. Make sure your grill is tall enough to stop the cook stooping all evening and getting back ache.
A brand new and exciting innovation which is just reaching the UK from America is a barbecue smoker. These are perfect for seafood delicacies and traditional barbecue meals like beef brisket, ribs or pork. They are also excellent for chicken, seafood or anything needing direct high temperatures. Hickory wood briquettes are available by mail order that impart a wonderful smoked flavour.
