As we start eating outside for the warmer months, it’s time to change your outdoor space to create an incredible alfresco dining style. Here are all the tips and tricks from creating a drinks station to those little touches that make it super comfortable.

Serving a delicious mixed platter of meats, cheeses, and vegetables is an easy way to entertain outside. Prepare and serve in style on beautiful wooden boards, large serving plates, cheese knives and dishes.

For the BBQ lover

One of the most important pieces of cooking equipment must be the barbeque. So, investing in all the grill tools that go with it like tongs, brushes, mallets, skewers, and marinade sets is key to easy cooking.

For the pizza lover

Whether you have a pizza oven or not, taking a pizza outside is such a great way to enjoy it. With large preparing boards, a pizza stone, and all the equipment, you can prepare it in the garden and eat it off beautiful wooden boards alfresco style.

Outdoor drinks

There’s nothing like having a drink outside in the warm weather, especially when it’s in your garden, on your balcony, or porch. A great way to entertain outside is with a little drinks station or table. Create a welcoming space with tablecloths, glasses, jugs and more. Here are some product ideas to create an outdoor bar.

Best outdoor dining tips

+ Don’t forget rugs, cushions, and blankets to keep guests warm when they sit outside. 
+ Use trays to bring items from the inside out. 
+ Dress appropriately with layers so you don’t get too hot or cold. 
+ Don’t forget about the ambiance of your outside gathering. Consider a small vase of flowers on the table and planters around the dining and sitting space. You can set up some portable speakers so you can have music while you eat. 
+ Outdoor lighting is key as the sun sets. Add a warm glow to the space with candles, portable outdoor lights, and string lights.
+ Keep a box handy filled with utensils, tools, a selection of chopping boards, knives, and towels so you always have them on hand when cooking outside.
