THE PERFECT SUMMER SLINGSBY BBQ

For us, this summer is all about spending it with our favourite people, eating our favourite food and of course, drinking our favourite drinks. It’s been a really tough couple of years so a good old get together is just what we all need!

If you’re thinking of hosting a BBQ for your friends and family or have been invited to one yourself, we thought we would put together a guide to the perfect summer BBQ so that you can enjoy it in true Slingsby style.

Let’s start with setting up…

Table décor

Now is the perfect excuse to get your kitchen or garden looking lovely with a nice table set up. Add your sharing plates i.e. salads, breads, cheeses into the middle of the table with napkins and side plates around it. Pop some candles on the table when the sun goes in, as well as some of your drinks selection and everyone has everything they need whilst it still looks aesthetically pleasing. Win, win!

Glasses

If you’re thinking of serving G&Ts at your BBQ (which is always a good idea if you ask us!) then you need some gin goblet glasses. If you’re going to do it, why not do it in true Slingsby fashion with our branded goblet glasses?

Eating alfresco

Besides the obvious of burgers, sausages and kebabs from the grill, we have found some amazing things that we love serving at our BBQs, you can see a list of all of our favourites below. However, if you want an option that requires minimum effort but maximum enjoyment, you need to pay Mama Doreen's a visit. Their takeaway afternoon teas are perfect and have something to suit everyone. Not forgetting that they will look lovely served up on your table, and as for their Belgium chocolate dipped strawberries? Wonderful!

You can also try:

• Grilled Moroccan Vegetable Skewers
• Puff Pastry with Baked Camembert
• Pineapple Chilli Chicken Skewers
• Warm Lemon & Shallot Potato Salad

What are we drinking? Slingsby, of course!

Cocktails are one way to really impress your loved ones, and whether you want to create a sharer serve for everyone to enjoy or have a handful of cocktails on the menu to serve throughout the day, we have a perfect selection that everyone will love.
