My Basket
With summer finally approaching, al fresco dining, garden parties and barbecues are much more weather-appropriate. Throwing a barbecue is a great way to enjoy some fabulous food with friends and family and, to make playing host that little bit easier, our gas barbecues come with all the latest technology.
Take the Swiss Grill Arosa 250B Steel 4 Burner Gas Barbecue for example. It’s one of the best available from the M&S barbecue range and certainly looks the part. It features a generous four burners, stainless steel hood, infra-red searing station, plus a free cover and a two year guarantee. Whether you want a top-of-the-range gas barbecue or a more rustic fire pit, we’ve got something to suit the occasion.
Watch our barbecue video on M&S TV for more information about our range, or shop all barbecues here.
COMPETITION NOW CLOSED!
We’ve also got one Swiss Grill barbecue to give away (worth £999) and we’ll even throw in £100 worth of M&S vouchers so one lucky winner can sample our summer food and drink ranges and throw the ultimate barbecue, on us.
To be in with a chance of winning, simply sign in with your M&S account and leave a comment below telling us who your dream barbecue guest would be and why.
We’ll pick one winner at random after the closing date of 11.59pm on Sunday 24 June, and they’ll notified by email. Good luck!
Please read the terms and conditions before entering.

I would invite my friends and have them each invite a person of interest to them, my guest would be Albert Einstein, if my friends made bad choices? We would still be intertained!

I would invite the whole cast of The Big Bang Theory to a bbq, as long as Sheldon wears his FLASH costume

It would have to be Paul Simon, just so that I could thank him for decades of great music and memories.

Bizarrely, if I had a Shed-shaped TARDIS handy, as thanks for their successful attempts at creating ‘fire’, our ideal guest would be Neolithic man from c.7000 BC. Their endeavours deserve to be recognised.

Id like the Head of M&S as a guest at my British Themed BBQ (doesnt have to be a jubilee celebration, celebrating our country can be anytime), then I could persuade them with the power of my superb cooking to hire me as a fashion designer/interior designer or simply just a shelf stacker as I have wanted to work for M&S for years and there are zero vacancies locally (and has been that way for years here in the NorthEast). So a bit of a cheeky one trying to get a job at a BBQ but you have to try while you can these days haha. Failing that a chef wouldnt go amiss as my superb cooking skills are HIGHLY exaggerated hahaha. Everyone loves a trier.

BRIAN COX – he’s gorgeous and so interesting and when it goes dark he could tell me all about the stars in the night sky! x

I would invite hugh fearnley-whittingstall. Whenever I have watched he’s shows, I really like how he knows all these great tips on how to get the best out of your meat, so would be better than my hubby on the BBQ controls!

Dawn French – she would be great company
On: 24 June 2012 Permalink
My ideal BBQ guest would be Jamie Oliver because then he could do all the cooking and I could put my feet up and just enjoy the food and the company!

I’d love Jamie Oliver to be my guest. He could show me how to get the best out of my new BBQ and get my kids eating all sorts of foods that they would never try for me. We’ve got a scooter so he can scout the surrounding area and grab a few neighbours round to join us. If he wanted to live up to his “Naked Chef” title, I wouldn’t complain.

I’d invite Stephen Hawkins and ask him to explain how the universe works.
On: 24 June 2012 Permalink
My dream guest would be Heston Blumenthal because if we ran out of food, he could improvise with grass, liquid nitrogen and a pack of M&S sausages.
On: 24 June 2012 Permalink
Would have to be Ronan Keating. Hopefully he would give us a few tunes while we are enjoying our food
On: 24 June 2012 Permalink
My dream Barbecue guest would be Gordon Ramsay, as we could leave him to prepare and cook all the lovely food – whilst entertaining us at the same time

Sir Ian McKellen – purely because I love this voice it’s so calming and also I find him quite fascinating!
On: 24 June 2012 Permalink
Definitely my husband. He loves barbecues and any excuse to get some meat on there. He also does a mean Texan marinade which is to die for!
On: 24 June 2012 Permalink
My dream barbecue guest would be Dara Ó Briain as he could provide entertainment while we were cooking the food. As he is also very intelligent, I would imagine he would be very interesting to chat to!
On: 24 June 2012 Permalink
My dream guest woukd be Winston Churchill. The conversation would definitely flow with such an interesting character.

My dream guest would be …the Queen! I’d like to serve up a right royal feast on the BBQ in my back garden (or in hers!)
On: 24 June 2012 Permalink
My dream BBQ guest would be Jamie Oliver.His cookery books have changed the way our family eat and interact, and he seems like such a nice man!
On: 24 June 2012 Permalink
I would love to invite Jamie Oliver. He seems like a laugh and it would mean I wouldn’t need to cook!
On: 24 June 2012 Permalink
Prince Philip, his gaffs would be hilarious.
On: 24 June 2012 Permalink
Bradley Walsh and hope he gives us all a good laugh!
On: 24 June 2012 Permalink
Bear Grylls. Clearly he knows GRYLLiant recipes to leave a smile on my CHOPS!

Johnny Depp then we could have a pirate themed BBQ with the sexiest man on earth entertaining the guests
On: 24 June 2012 Permalink
It would be Jamie Oliver as I’m sure he’d be the one man who’d BBQ food perfectly without burning it! Plus I could pick up some foodie tips!
On: 24 June 2012 Permalink
Delia Smith, so she could give me tips – she’s so down to earth that I wouldn’t be afraid of making mistakes or taking shortcuts.
On: 24 June 2012 Permalink
My dream partner would be Gandalf from TLOTR. He would provide the evenings entertainment with those home made fireworks etc.
On: 24 June 2012 Permalink
My dream guest would be my husband as he’s my best friend and we always have such a great time together. We’ve been trying to host a BBQ for weeks but every time we plan a date the rain comes!
This would make our BBQ much easier to organise!
On: 24 June 2012 Permalink
Stephen Fry -he would appreciate the food and his intelligence and wit would be the perfect fit
On: 24 June 2012 Permalink
For me the dream guest at my BBQ will always be my beautiful wife. Soulmate, friend, cook, mother and lifetime partner. She is simply my Miss World and no-one could replace her.
On: 24 June 2012 Permalink
My family and close friends (who I call my family) would be my dream guest/s. I love them all to bits, and we’ve been through some fantastic and some horrendous and deeply saddening times together. They’re the people i can be completely myself with and have a good laugh or cry or whatever i feel like doing. They’re great company and to have everyone together would make the perfect BBQ and make many more happy memories to keep.
