Summer Garden Party Essentials

Looking to host a garden party to remember this Bank Holiday Weekend? There are a few things that you need to make sure your party is the one people are still talking about come September.

The first thing you need is a really good BBQ. You can opt for the small tinned BBQs sold in the supermarkets but if you’re catering for a large group you’ll be there all day trying to cook all the burgers and sides.

A good BBQ will help make your food cook more evenly and taste better, you’ll be able to cook more at once and it’s more fun to cook at a full sized BBQ than hunch over a small tin.

You’ll also need some really good food. As well as quality burgers and sausages you’ll need to provide some side dishes. The old favourites of pasta and potato salad are always a hit and there are loads of recipes online that you can customise.

Once the food is out of the way and the sun starts to go in you’ll need a new place to entertain. The conservatory is the ideal location for the evening of a garden party. You’ll still be getting fresh air from outside and can keep an eye on any children playing in the garden, but you’ll be able to put your feet up and relax in style.
