Food
The food is the heart of what makes the barbecue a truly great and memorable experience. That’s why it’s so important that you find as much great food as you can. It’s the opportunity to experiment and try something new as much as possible. First off, you need to find great meat suppliers to stock up on prime beef and ribs. You need to choose things that will barbecue well. You may also decide you’d like to get people to bring some stuff of their own as well. This is a great way of making sure you have plenty of food to go around. You should also look at providing side dishes like salad, coleslaw, couscous, etc. Make sure everyone has the food they need to, and that there is plenty to stick on the grill. This is the crucial part to make sure you get right when hosting the perfect BBQ.
Entertainment
You also have to make sure you provide entertainment for your guests during the barbecue. This is something you have to make sure you prioritize. The last thing you want is for people to become bored or fed up. There may be a mixture of adults and kids there. So you have to provide entertainment that will cater to everyone. That means choosing the right music; a barbecue playlist would be ideal. You should also supply games of both the board and video variety. Some kind of sports might also be an idea if there is room in the garden. Don’t forget to provide an area where people can chill out, relax, and socialize as well.
Booze
Alcohol is another essential addition to any perfect barbecue experience. This is something that you need to make sure you nail. Everyone likes to get a little boozy at a barbecue; well, everyone who’s old enough anyway! So, it’s important that you look at what you can do to stick up on booze. Most people will bring their own, but you should try to make sure you have a selection to choose from. Try to provide some wine, beer, spirits, and a selection of soft drinks. That way you will be able to cater to the needs and desires of all your guests. Alcohol is an important part of the barbecue experience and one you need to make sure you make the most of.
