BBQ kebabs We Brits love a good BBQ and with summer just around the corner, there’s no better excuse for a fun filled get-together. BBQ’s are a great way to enjoy good food and good company and of course some sparkling Shloer. Follow Shloer’s top tips to ensure your BBQ sizzles this summer.

Preparation – Preparation for BBQs can make the experience more enjoyable so check the weather well in advance and time your BBQ accordingly. It’s also worth making sure you know how many people are coming so you are sure to have enough food. Pre-prepared food will allow you to make the most of your guests aswelll.
Equipment - Provide paper or plastics plates and cups so you don’t spend the day worrying about your favourite crockery and washing up. When it comes to the BBQ have all your equipment handy, consider placing on a small table next to the BBQ. To save too many trips to the kitchen, fill up a bucket with ice to chill your Shloer in that and make sure you have plenty of napkins on hand
Lighting – A typical BBQ tends to start in the day and then convenes well into the night, so it’s always a good idea to have some outdoor lighting on hand so the party does not have to end when the sun goes down; lanterns help enhance any garden or alternativly candles create the perfect ambiance
Seating – Make sure you have plenty of seating available for guests. If you don’t have enough chairs scatter some old rugs and cushions across the lawn for total comfort
Rain – With the unpredictable weather in Britain it’s is a good idea to be prepared with some sort of shelter over the BBQ so that you can still cook the food. If you have a gazebo consider placing it in the garden so your guests don’t have to retreat inside. BBQs won’t be ruined if it rains; you just have to be a little more creative, so make sure you plan for every eventuality
