Fire up the barbie this bank holiday weekend as part of National BBQ Week

With garden centres now open, how many of us have splashed out on a new barbecue, or charcoal for one at home?

National BBQ Week is back this week, and its annual return sees a changed world - though the food is still what you make it.

The 24th annual outdoor celebration, which runs from Bank Holiday Monday, March 25, until Sunday, May 31, will be supporting the NHS and all frontline workers, including supermarket staff and delivery drivers who are helping to keep us fed and watered while staying at home.

This year's celebration will include more emphasis on sharing online and via social media.
