Long summer days mean we all want to stay outside a little longer  and these bistro sets will inspire you to have an al fresco breakfast, lunch and dinner. 


The long summer days and nights spent outside are some of my favourite things about this time of year.

Whether it’s a late-night barbecue with friends or al fresco afternoon drinks with family, summer often means more time in our gardens or on our balconies – and a cute bistro set definitely adds to the atmosphere.

The chair and table sets help to create the perfect environment for having a cup of coffee with a friend or significant other while lazing in the sun – and we’ve found nine bistro sets that are going straight on my wishlist.
