Join the BBQ at Trof this summer

LAZY, HAZY DAYS: This summer at Trof

THE bods at the Met Office have made their healthy summer weather predictions and now the brave folk at Trof are going to run with them, after pencilling in a whole season of BBQs.

Every Saturday (from June 20) at the Fallowfield offshoot of the chain, a different group of people will take over the proceedings (promoters, bands, DJs or friends of Trof), setting the overall vibe of the day and organising music, bands and market stalls while the Trof chefs cook up a storm in the background.

Promising to serve up high quality BBQ food, seabass, steak and a smorgasbord of veggie delights, it all kicks off at 12pm with music till 1am, when you can retire home tired and refreshed, ready to do it all again the following Saturday.
