It is supposed to be the British summer that is filled with soaring heats, beaming sunrays and barbeques.

Although the weather still cannot quite make up its mind as some days that are glorious are drowned out with downpours, it doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy the summertime and host a BBQ in your back garden with the help of Ulster Weavers.

A BBQ is more fun when it is sunny and warm but don’t let a spot of rain spoil your outdoor parties this August. A marquee is great in that it can be put up over the grill, protect the food from any rain and cover all your guests from getting drenched.

So if you were excited about hosting a BBQ this summer but have been put off the idea, simply get yourself a little outdoor heater and pop it in the corner of the garden to keep all family and friends all warm and toasty on a chilly evening.

Here are some brilliant food ideas for you to cook up a storm and impress the party-goers with. But make sure you wear one of our fantastic aprons when cooking to protect your clothing from any nasty splash backs. And with our vast array of funky designs and shapes of PVC aprons, you are bound to find something to entertain the guests with as well as look the ultimate top chef!

Feed your fun with;

- Texas pork ribs

- Summer salmon skewers

- Margarita grilled chicken

- Summer snap pea and cherry tomato salad

- Potato or pasta salad

- Corn on the cob

- Spiced mackerel

- Sausages and mash

So have a relaxed summer alfresco party with the help of Ulster Weavers. And don’t forget- you can protect your hands from burnt plates as well as cover up the food with our cute tea towels.
