BRITISH weather can be unpredictable at the best of times, but come rain or shine a Gastro GoodiBox is sure to put a smile on your face.

By entering this simple competition, you could enjoy delicious food and drink from our sponsors without even having to leave your front door.

With tight budgets, and loads to do in your own back garden, there’s never been a better time to enjoy a summer ‘holi-stay’.

And the 17th Gastro Alfresco campaign is here to help you make the most of at-home alfresco living.

This year’s Gastro Alfresco is supported by some high profile brands including Brancott Estate, Encona, San Miguel Fresca, Shloer and Starbucks.

You can find out more about how to enjoy life alfresco, including recipes, blogs and tips, at www.gastro-alfresco.com

Alternatively, like Gastro Alfresco on Facebook, follow @GastroAlfresco on Twitter and watch videos on YouTube.
