March 17, 2009 - PRLog -- According to Riverside Garden Centre, the garden furniture specialists, outdoor kitchens are rapidly gaining in popularity, due to busy personal lives, leaving less time for the family to gather around the table teamed with an increasing trend for families to stay at home in order to cut costs during such economically turbulent times.

Penny Wright, manager at the company who offer everything from barbeques to garden supplies, said, “We have experienced a huge influx in sales recently for our kitchen and barbeque equipment, and this is certainly down to the fact that summer is just around the corner.  There is also a growing trend for both couples and families to hold dinner parties and socialize at home rather than spend a huge amount of money going out to eat at a restaurant, which is not surprising with the current economic woes.”

The key to bringing the inside out this summer and trying some alfresco dining at its best is to have the right tools for the job, if you have an existing patio or decking area you are almost half way there, but investing in some utensils ideal for the first barbeque of the year is essential.  With sales on their Kitchen Craft Stainless Steel Hamburger Turner with Short Oval Handle and Kitchen Craft Chrome Plated Tongs with ABS Plastic, Riverside Garden Centre really have everything you need to get summer off to a flying start.

29 year-old Lee Carlisle, from Nottingham knows only too well the savings that can be experienced by socialising at home, he said, “My fiancé and I are just moving into our first property, and we have already spoken about having a series of barbeques as soon as the weather picks up.  Many of our friends are staying in at weekends or having dinner parties, especially as job security is diminishing and we all seem to be looking after the pennies”
Once you have the right utensils, it is essential to sniff out an ideal location and to make sure that wherever you have the grilling station, that there are no combustible surfaces next to the grill, and If you are opting for a gas grill, ensure that you locate your kitchen near a gas line. If you want to be able to cook outside come rain or shine, make sure that your head chef for the day has ample cover, should the great British weather get the better of your socialites.

Mrs Wright added, “One of our current best selling barbeques is without a doubt our Broil King Barbeques, which are built on a cast iron reputation, and are capable of providing outstanding quality and performance.  These barbeques are fantastic as they cater for all tastes and allow the user to not only rustle up something fast, but five star cuisine is also achievable.”

Now all you have left to do is throw in a few bottles of wine, put on some music and to be the hostess with the mostess, make sure that there are variety of foods available to suit all tastes- so what are you waiting for? Its barbeque time!
