Outdoor Net Food Covers.

Lakeland do pop up food covers.

Do you have any of the wire coat hangers lying around? Maybe fasten two together and cover with some net curtaining??

Calendargirl Have you looked on Ebay they have outdoor picnic table tents from £2.99 for 6 all differant sizes they are not expensive and nice to look at too.

Onarway food covering tents 17” x 6 for £10.69.

If you do want to make one yourself

I have about four of those food covers, they were bought at cheap shops ( bargain type shops).

Oops forgot to say Calendargirl Amazon.

Lidl and aldi often have them. Yorkshire Trading, Wilkinson’s, B&M, pound shops. I have a few of different sizes. Very useful.

We were given a different sort of outdoor food cover as a wedding present - from a notoriously tight relative by marriage of my MiL.

It consisted of what looked like an enormous headscarf in very cheap synthetic material, printed with a vast, garish map of New Zealand with little inscriptions such as ‘Here be dragons/Kiwis, etc.’

Very bemused, I asked Mil what on earth it was for.
‘Apparently it’s a tea shower’, she said, straight-faced. ‘For keeping flies off your tea things.’

We both had a really good laugh about it.

As oldbat says, look out for them in Aldi and Lidl. I have several in different sizes and they are invaluable, both indoors and out.

Waitrose usually sell them in the seasonal aisle when the barbecue stuff comes out. Look where they have plastic plates, tumblers, serviettes etc.

Thanks for all your suggestions.

Will follow them up.
