Furniture


Planning on having a lot of guests over for a BBQ or a Garden party, make sure you don’t fall short on seating! When it comes to seating, round or square tables are perfect for BBQs and bringing people together! Always have backup chairs and ensure they are as cosy as possible!

Food


It's a given that food cooked outdoors just tastes 10x than if it were cooked in the kitchen. You can’t go wrong with a BBQ as you can easily cater for your guests whether they fancy a burger, hot fog, vegetable kebabs or even fresh seafood. A great way to get friends and family involved is with the popular outdoor pizza ovens cooking pizzas in just a few minutes, you can’t go wrong.
