When the sun comes out for the first time in the year, us Brits can't wait to fire up our garden barbecues or head out to buy disposable ones to enjoy some al fresco dining.
Bristol is full of places that may seem like the perfect spot to cook up some delicious grub in the sun on a disposable barbecue, but it's worth being aware of the rules around doing so. The majority of Bristol's public parks allow barbecues if they are being used safely.
However, one exception is Troopers Hill Nature Reserve - a great spot to sit and enjoy views out over the city. To protect its wildlife and ensure that wildfires are kept at bay, a byelaw means that using a barbecue on Troopers Hill could see you fined up to £500.
