Rutland Water named best place to barbecue in East Midlands according to Television presenter and outdoor walking enthusiast, Julia Bradbury




Rutland Water has been revealed as one of the country’s best places to barbecue.

Television presenter and outdoor walking enthusiast, Julia Bradbury, has teamed up with Weber to reveal the UK’s best places to barbecue this summer.

Rutland Water was chosen as the best place in the East Midlands because of its 4,200 acres of open countryside, and the many activities it offers including walking, cycling, fishing and water sports.

Barbecues are allowed on site, excluding the nature reserve areas at Egleton and Lyndon, but visitors are asked to only barbecue on the metal stands provided.

Julia Bradbury said: “I have been lucky enough to walk in some of the UK’s most remarkable places, so I’ve selected some of my favourite spots that combine the most stunning views with safe spaces to barbecue so you can enjoy everything the British countryside has to offer.”

In the past 12 months Weber has seen a sharp rise in outdoor cooking, with more than half of people saying they improved their grill skills, with 48 per cent now enjoying a weekly barbecue.

With staycations still proving popular, Weber says it expects this trend to continue, with holidaymakers taking their love for barbecuing further afield and on their adventures with them.

Chris Trewhitt, marketing director at Weber, said: “We are seeing a whole new generation of enthusiastic ‘Barbecue Explorer’ that are embracing the freedom and the fresh air and cooking in style, and it’s a trend that’s set to continue this summer.

"Weber’s new Traveler portable gas barbecue is the perfect companion for delicious tasting food wherever you are, and wherever you’re planning to go.”

Weber has also issued top tips on how to barbecue responsibly:

  • When barbecuing, it’s important to take safety precautions to prevent any fire damage. It’s best to use a portable barbecue instead of a disposable one to protect the grass and area around you.
  • Check what type of barbecue is allowed on site e.g. size and fuel type
  • Be socially responsible and make sure you are allowed to take to the grill in the destination you are in.
  • Take away any left-over fuel and litter with you when you leave the site.
