There’s nothing quite like eating outdoors. Food tastes so much better out in the fresh air, something we’ll be talking about in this post. And that’s why the Norfolk Leisure Babingley Garden Corner Sofa with High Dining Table is such a popular garden dining set buy. Not only does it bring the magic of alfresco dining into your life, it does so in considerable style, being so sleek and modern. Great quality completes the picture, so let’s go!
Why we love to eat outdoors
Some say eating outdoors is so popular because it takes us back to previous experiences we’ve loved. Maybe you had a childhood full of happy camping trips, perhaps your family spent every possible second outdoors together whenever it was sunny; in parks, on the beach or in the countryside. Eating outdoors might remined you of picnics or festivals, garden parties, school trips or a particularly memorable wedding.
Childhood seems to have a role in or feelings because eating outside brings out the child in us. It’s fun, informal, unfussy and altogether more exciting. Even something as simple as baked beans on toast or a bacon buttie tastes so much better in the fresh air. Because we don’t do it that often in the UK, thanks to the unpredictable weather, eating in the garden feels so much more special, a treat rather than the norm.
It’s also a chemistry thing. Food actually changes in the sunshine. Ice cream has the most intense flavour just before it freezes because the sucrose in it is heated up. Heat also enhances the volatile compounds in food that create its delicious scent, adding to our pleasure. Some experts even recommend standing your salad dressing in the sunshine for a while, to optimise the flavour burst.
Finally, perhaps it’s in our genes. Humans have eaten outdoors for millennia, indoor eating being a relatively recent thing. If you worked in the fields, you’d eat your dinner in the shade of a haystack or under a tree, surrounded by countryside. Dining in the garden maybe harks back to that, to simpler times.
Eat alfresco in luxury with this splendid garden dining set
The Norfolk Leisure Babingley Garden Corner Sofa with High Dining Table comes with contemporary good looks every step of the way. The high dining table is the ideal height for comfortable dining, day and night, and the chunky style is a delight. The look of the broad curved arms is carried through to the table legs and stool, a super-stylish theme that complements contemporary gardens really well.
You’d never guess the frames are made from tough aluminium, which is light as well as very strong and durable and never rusts. It’s coated with a rich anthracite grey finish and the unusually deep, thick and bouncy cushions in a slightly paler grey make it supremely comfortable.
The fabric is an innovative acrylic and polyester mix with high performance at its heart, designed for a life outdoors. The plastic inner coating resists showers and the whole thing stays looking good for years. Better still the cushions are really easy to clean.
Your delivery contains one beautiful Babingley High Table, a five seater Babingley Corner Sofa, and two cool Babingley bench chairs, each perfect for two people. There’s space for a total of nine of you, all seated in supreme comfort. Just add food and drinks and you’re ready to party!
