With the weather being just a little bit predictably British over the past few weeks – including the bank holiday! – the idea of cooking some proper barbecue ribs may be at the back of most people’s minds – we imagine that the weekend has been filled with internal debates such as “should I brave the wind and rain and buy that inflatable dinghy?”
But now the wet weather has all but dissapated, and passed us all by with a degree of calm setting in, the sun has reappeared. It’s almost as if it is summer once again.
So in some sort of sun dance-style celebration, we’re going to light up that grill and cook some good old-fashioned pork ribs. But these aren’t just any ribs; extra sticky and garnished with some peppers, you’ll be getting a couple of not-so subtle kicks – hopefully of the good kind – to go alongside some great flavours.

Jam is perfect with scones (more on those later). Jam is perfect on toast. Jam is also perfect in the middle of a cake (more on that later too).
But it’s even more perfect when you make it yourself.
Making jam is not as difficult as you might think, not only that, but it’s relatively cheap and tastes infinitely better than when picked up at the local supermarket.

Almost every kitchen has a major problem with cleaning pots and pans at some point.
Heavy usage and sometimes lack of access to a high quality dishwashing machine might be the reason even high quality pans don’t last quite as long as we want them to.
It’s usually due to, and I’m afraid to say this, poor cleaning technique…

Can you hear that faint sound on the horizon? That, my friends, is the alluring call of the Bank Holiday weekend and this time around it is set to attract people in droves to restaurants, cafes, bars and other such establishments.

A recent survey predicts customers are going to spend 120% more over the next few days than they would on a normal weekend.
Three cheers for Bank Holidays!
It’s just a shame that it’s going to be the last one for 92 days…

With the Daily Express reporting that we are just a few short days away from the hottest summer in 100 years, it makes sense to check if your business is fully prepared for the scorching season ahead.
It is being reported that we are likely to see temperatures of at least 30°C at the start of June! With the rest of the summer hotting up even further!
Longer, hotter days mean people are more likely to venture outdoors and a cracking outdoor space to sit, drink and eat is an enticing prospect.
It’s probably about time to get your business set to cash-in on the summer season, but are you summer ready?
