This is just one of the reasons why I wanted my plot, a retreat if you like with like minded folk, sharing ideas and the joy of the produce. Everything I've read on this thread sounds sheer heaven to me. Inviting my family & friends down to pick what they'd like fresh from the ground / branch, bbq'd  & washed down with something long & cool, and gaining the kind of education from fellow allotmenteers they never dreamt possible. Fantastic!

there are no rules on our allotments, as long as you pay the rent and don't erect a permanent walk in polytunnel you can do what you like ! Looking forward to some lottie bbqs later in the season.

yep, tis a right good carry on.  Get the eating irons ready and a pan of boiling water, or barbie fired up, for the very first sweetcorn pickings.  There is nothing quite as unbelievably good as sweetcorn picked and cooked straight away. Sigh

There is no national law against fires either so it really annoys me when sites have a no fire policy you can still have a fire in yer own garden as long as your not causing a nuisance the odd fire IMO cannot be construed as a nuisance more like an inconvenience rant over

Double post sorted!

It's not down to the law, but the contract you sign as your tenancy agreement.

I agree it's a pain in the bum, we are not allowed fires as the residents complain. It's OK for them to have a bonfire though & smoke US out!
