Think fire risk before choosing BBQ picnic

We're planning a family party and wondered your views on disposable barbeques? Are they a good option for outdoor entertaining.

- with Angela Terry

Given the exceedingly hot and dry conditions the UK has faced all year, I would plead with anyone to avoid buying disposable BBQs as without meaning to they are increasingly responsible for dangerous wildfires.

There are so many websites full of incredible catering ideas for the great outdoors including family favourites such as sausage rolls and scotch eggs, as well as taking inspiration from other countries such as simple sharing boards including baguettes, grapes and cheese as the French do.

Unfortunately, due to global warming managing wildfire risk is now part of firefighters jobs, along with tackling increasing floods in wintertime.
