August Has Arrived: Make the Most of Al Fresco Dining

August Has Arrived: Make the Most of Al Fresco Dining

It’s the 1st of August, the weather is still looking good, and there is plenty of time left to enjoy meals outside.  After all, summer does not end just because July has gone.  In fact, August can be one of the loveliest months for garden lunches, evening drinks, family BBQs and relaxed al fresco dining.

So, what better time to give your garden table a fresh new look? And how about our Chervil Mustard Oilcloth Tablecloth for starters?

A wipe-clean oilcloth tablecloth can instantly brighten an outdoor space, protect your table and make clearing up much easier.  Whether you choose a pretty floral, a classic check, a cheerful spot or a calm plain colour, the right oilcloth can make your table feel ready for every sunny moment.  And we’re delighted to tell you that our Chervil design comes in two other fabulous colourways … Fern and Blue Mist and is coated with our beautiful matt finish.

At Only Oilcloths, we are proud to be The Oilcloth Experts.  Not only do we sell oilcloth, we make it too, in our own factory on the beautiful Fylde Coast in Lancashire.  Because of this, we understand how oilcloth works in real homes and gardens.  We know it needs to look lovely, but it also needs to cope with everyday life.

An oilcloth tablecloth is ideal for outdoor dining.  Use it for breakfast on the patio, lunch in the garden, afternoon tea, children’s snacks, weekend BBQs or an easy supper outside after work.  If there are spills, crumbs or sticky marks, you can simply wipe the surface clean and carry on enjoying the day.

All of our oilcloths are coated with a child-friendly, food-safe coating, so they are a practical choice for family tables.  They are especially useful when children are eating outside, helping with baking, colouring at the table or enjoying a garden picnic.

We also make it easy to choose an oilcloth that suits your table. All of our oilcloths are available in a range of sizes and cut to order.  So, whether you have a small bistro table, a long family dining table or a large outdoor table, you can choose the size that works best.

In addition, we can add rounded corners for a softer, neater finish.  If you want to use your tablecloth outside with a parasol, we can add a parasol hole too.  We can also cut circles or ovals to suit your table shape, which gives round and oval tables a much better fit.

And if your tablecloth moves around in the breeze, our tablecloth clips help keep everything in place.  They are a simple but very useful extra for outdoor tables, especially during BBQs, garden parties and family meals.

So, as August begins, make the most of the sunshine while it lasts.  Dress the table, pour something cold, add a few flowers, and enjoy eating outside.  With a beautiful oilcloth tablecloth, al fresco dining feels easier, brighter and much more relaxed.
