With summer well and truly here the BBQ season is in full flow. But long gone are the days of just lighting a few coals on a rickety low level crate and keeping your fingers crossed…

The exciting world of Al Fresco dining has been revolutionised by the huge range of modern BBQ’s. And, to help you enjoy your summertime the most, Capital Gardens now have an amazing Summer Sale with up to 70% off, along with a stunning cashback offer on selected Webber BBQ’s.

So what should you know when choosing your BBQ?

Firstly, have a good idea of what you want to achieve and then choose a BBQ that matches your needs. So, what flavours are you looking to create, what size of BBQ is required? Are you cooking just for yourself, or how many people will you need to cook for at any one time. And of course, what is your budget?

Cooking over Charcoal

The only way to really achieve the authentic, chargrilled BBQ taste, is to light those coals! A charcoal BBQ tends to be small to medium in size and is perfect for a smaller gathering. And now coming in stylish designs too, this classic style of outdoor cooking will bring all the sights and smells of summer.

Cooking on Gas!

The well-known phrase ‘Cooking on Gas,’ suggesting to perform efficiently and make rapid progress, just sums a gas BBQ up perfectly! With instant cooking heat and a variety of cooking range options, it is perfect when catering for larger outdoor parties or just an impromptu weekday dinner outside. A gas BBQ tends to have a plentiful grilling area and to create those much loved char-grill marks on your food, accessories such as a sear grate may be included in the package or can be purchased as an add on at a later date. Just remember… make sure you have ample gas before you start to cook!

Camp Fire Memories with a Wood Fired BBQ

Rekindle that camp fire aroma with a wood fired BBQ. The perfect choice for cooking meats and capturing the perfect smokey char-grilled taste. Typically larger than a traditional charcoal BBQ, there is more space to cook all your favourites and great for doing s’mores after as well!

Electric BBQs

Smaller in size than many other BBQs, an electric BBQ still has great heating power. This makes it perfect for use in a smaller space where smoke could be a nuisance, or when fire restrictions prevent any open flames.

So come and make the most of our superb Summer Sale. From outdoor furniture to lighting and colourful patio planters, through to all your outdoor cooking and entertaining accessories.

The Summer Sale starts on Friday 26^th July and don’t forget to take advantage of the amazing cashback offer on selected Webber BBQs, valid until the 27^th August. For more information, visit www.capitalgardens.co.uk
