It's all about … When, Where & How? We all love a BBQ with friends and family, its either a great social affair where the grown ups eat too much and drink a little too much well into the evening or a small family affair where everyone is involved from children to Grandparents! Whatever your occasion, we normally dine in the garden after a veritable feast has been prepared in the kitchen and on the gas/charcoal BBQ and that's exactly how it should be.
Relaxed or Formal Dining?
Relaxed dining, rattan sofa sets or formal dining, cube rattan, teak or any other sort of dining table and chairs, which do you prefer, or which should you choose? If you’re lucky enough to have the space to BBQ, then dine on a stunning formal outside dining set and then when you’re fit to explode, retire to your beautiful rattan sofa set, lucky you! However, if you don’t have the space or the budget for both, which should you have? Well ultimately it will be a matter of personal choice but always try think which you will use the most. Formal outside dining sets are great providing a comfortable place to eat with lots of table top space, however, once you have eaten, most are not built for you to sit back and relax. This is where the sofa suite takes top prize. A rattan sofa set is perfect for chilling out, enjoying drinks with friends, eating nibbles and finger food off your knee and then when your fit to burst, relax into your super comfy rattan sofa or arm chair. If you ask me, the Rattan sofa set wins every time, but that's my choice, what's yours?

A Word of Warning...
If your buying teak then make sure it is best quality seasoned teak and not sapling wood teak. Sapling teak furniture is cost effective but when it dries out it will become “loose” and badly fitting. Spruce is a great alternative, lasts as long and is a much better price. If your buying Rattan sofa sets or dining sets then you really need to look hard. There are many types of Rattan weave and frames. A must is aluminium frames and the way in which the weave is attached is very important. If you need any advice we have a great selection of outdoor furniture, BBQ's and parasols, from cube dining and Spruce formal dining to small two seater sets and fantastic Rattan sofa sets. Call in at Bentleys and we will only be to happy to help you make the right choice.
Ever thought of Table Top Cooking or Bon-Fire Cooking? With the introduction of Pod BBQ's and the incredible “Hot-Wok”, tabletop cooking is going to be a great alternative to the larger BBQ. They are perfect for when you don't want to drag out that big BBQ or spend 20 minutes cleaning it from last nights use. They are neat and compact and ready in a minute. If you want to take a sneak peak then call in and we can show you what it's all about. Just call in and take a l ook at the alternatives we have to your everyday BBQ's.
