Those long summer days mean one thing to a lot of people; time to crack open the barbecue and enjoy the sunshine with friends and family! The traditional British barbecue is an ideal way to make the most of the sunshine whilst having some quality family time and catching up with friends at the same time. If you haven’t got a barbecue or are in need of a new one, take advantage of the cheap barbecues available from stockists like Weberbbq.co.uk now and start planning your barbecue menu!

Traditional barbecue food is varied and delicious and there should be something to please everyone. Top of the list of course is the ever-reliable burger. Whether it’s a good old British beef burger, a tender lamb and mint burger or a spicy bean burger, there’s nothing quite like the smell of one cooking on the barbecue to get mouths watering. Make sure you have all of the other staples to make your perfect BBQ burger, such as bread buns, cheese slices, burger relish, tomato sauce and mayonnaise.

Another firm favourite for barbecue fans is of course sausages! Pork, lamb or veggie, sausages taste great barbecued and served in a hot dog bun with some spicy relish or English mustard.

As well as the staples of burgers and bangers, fish is a top choice for the barbecue. Stuffed with herbs, lemon and butter then wrapped in foil, fish can be cooked slowly on the barbecue to create a wonderfully tasty, smoky fish dish. You can also channel the Aussies and throw a shrimp or two on the Barbie, or perhaps just a prawn kebab.

And of course, don’t forget all those essential extras that really make a barbecue a success. Plenty of salad, some dips and crisps and of course, lots of beer to keep you refreshed and your guests entertained!
