Whether you’re in the mood for a spot of alfresco dining, why not make the slicing and searing a social affair. We’ve found the means to fan the flames of tabletop cooking.
Vertical grill
An innovative design from the Danish designer Tue T Elskær, produced by Larner Design, the Silo is a vertical grill. It heats speedily, directs heat away from the table and brings some of the joys of rotisserie roasting to the table
Table barbecue
Solid enough to support fire, but compact enough to take its place at the tabletop, the Grill 71 table barbecue features a nifty suspension system that allows you to raise and lower the grill plate as needed. Grill 71 table barbecue, £200, by Morsø
Chocolate fondue set
Make this a savoury throwback to finger-defrosting fondues on the slopes, or a dessert dipping bowl for immersing anything from chillies to cherries in molten chocolate.
Lumi Choco fondue set, £19, by Cookut, from Forma House
Griddle
With a central plate made from heat-retaining soapstone, this griddle can sustain sizzling once heated without the presence of a hotplate. Cooks fishy morsels or strips of meat to order at the table. The Griddle, €130, by KnIndustrie.
