Aunt Bessie explains how you can give your guests a meal to remember.

“There’s nothing wrong with the classic burger bun, but it definitely won’t have that ‘unforgettable’ factor," says Aunt Bessie.

"Whilst 51% of Brits still look forward to meat the most, interesting and unusual sides are where the real excitement is.

"Almost a third (31%) look forward to potato and sweet potato sides, closely followed by corn on the cob (21% and surprisingly, salad (15%).

By buying readily chopped, frozen sides, you can save yourself time to focus on manning the barbecue.”
