National BBQ Week 2021

9th July 2021

In 2021 we are celebrating the 25th National BBQ Week with not one, but two whole weeks of great BBQ food! Known for being a staple way of cooking across the pond in the USA, here in the UK we certainly embrace BBQ food as soon as the sun comes out, so what better time than now, while the sun is shining!

The Great BBQ Debate

When it comes to buying a new BBQ, or indeed your first BBQ, many people are faced with the choice of good old fashioned coals or the newer, somewhat easier option of going gas. If there were a right or wrong answer, the other option wouldn’t be so readily available. The decision should fall down to how you like to cook your food.
Much of the nation loves the classic charcoal BBQ because that’s how they know BBQ food. When cooking with charcoal, remember you cant turn the heat up and down, so leaving sections of your BBQ with fewer coals can help you to cook at differing rates. However, if you want the ability to be able to change the temperature to suit what you’re cooking, a gas grill certainly makes this easier.
Our team is very much divided by the ease of gas, but the smokey tastes of charcoal. So how can you decide? Be Cheeky. Visit friends and family who have different BBQs and see which you prefer! We know it’s naughty, but if it’s your first BBQ you want to get the perfect one for you! Plus you get some great company and great food along the way.

No BBQ would be complete without some kebabs! From beef Kofta kebabs to chicken and veg kebabs our succulent ready to go kebabs can be thrown straight on the BBQ! Or why not build your own with our glazed chicken fillets!
