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!  :D

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  :D

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 :wink: 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!

Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?
