Plus you can eat it wherever you want without been tied down to a venue, eat on the beach, the edge of a cliff, middle of a field it doesn’t really matter!

Fire Pit:
Yes we know it’s summer but it can still get bit nippy on a night so a fire pit is essential to keep you warm if you want to avoid having to retreat indoors (it’ll also scare away the midgeys). This Caleta Clay Firebowl from B&Q is perfect for summer parties and even roasting a few marshmallows as part of a little midnight snack if you get peckish.
