Dipping Dessert
After all the hot food, try this:
Put a shallow fire-proof bowl of hot water on the bbq. Stand another smaller bowl inside filled with chocolate pieces (plain is best). Have a plate of summer fruits (stawberries/raspberries etc) already prepared on the alfresco table.
When the chocolate has melted, take it to the table next to the fruit. Give everyone scewers (wooden ones work well) and get dipping. The choc bowl can be returned to the shallow hot water bowl to keep it melted.
