Temperatures aren't the only thing sizzling as the mercury rises this week - we love to herald the start of summer with a hearty barbecue. And after all that incessant rain, our back gardens just aren't going to cut it. We've taken the noble art of barbecuing to the great outdoors - here are the top public spots across the nation to whet your appetite.

Yeah, we were going to have a Barbeque in the garden to have a lovely evening meal alfresco - so what did the neighbour do, started running the ruddy petrol strimmer, for three hours for heaven's sake.  We set the getto blaster outside, found Clssic FM and wound it up to number 12 on the volume.  Then we p...ed of the the local pub for a carvery.  Very nice too and sat out in the beer garden it was lovely and peaceful.

What a stupid Country we live in, on one hand we are told that a "wisp of secondhand tobacco smoke will kill us" yet Promote our children to get outside next to a Smoking Barbecue all day, just a thought.
