With alittle bit of luck we’ll get a scorcher of a summer so we can hit the beach, and also throw a bbq. We all love a bbq, but how can we make sure we all enjoy the event and make it go off smoothly?

• Cook the meat all the way through. Its a simple point to remember, but most food poisoning cases occur at bbq when the meat wasnt done properly. Looks can be decieving, cut the meat to make sure that its not pink inside, and if it is put it back on the grill and cook it for abit longer. Also remember to defrost your meat in the fridge 24 hours before the bbq, or make sure your microwave has the defrost feature.
• Never leave the grill on and unguarded. Leaving the grill unattended is stupid at best, as it can be knocked over or your drunk uncle may fall into it.
• Dont use too much lighter fluid. yup, the giant flame is something to look at, but fire is unpredictable. Plus youll never need as much lighter fluid as you think.
• Buy some vegetarian alternatives just in case. Its well known, Hitler was a vegetarian, and most of us will reach for the steak before we go for the salad, but are those vegetarian burgers arent really that abd. That way everyone can have something, plus lets face it, a burger just isnt a burger without some crisp lettuce. Allow the vegetables to compliment the meat, making it taste better and giving your plate abit of colour.
• Be prepared. How many people will you need to buy food for, who has special dietry requirements, whats the weather going to be like on the day- being prepared for these things ensures your bbq will run more smoothly. Theres no point in stocking up on alcohol if everyones’ gonna be driving down, or doing it when its raining.

Dont fancy doing it yourself and want some outside catering for your bbq, or just private catering for a special event?
