A few years ago, a BBQ meant burgers, sausages and chicken, scorched on the outside and raw within. We’ve become far more demanding now and, thankfully, supply is meeting our taste bud challenges. Butchery counters, butchers and Farm Shops offer a rainbow of marinated goodies – so, let’s grill.
It’s not everybody’s cup of chilli, but we do seam to be choosing hotter chillies and warming spices in our BBQ sauces.
You can’t really get much hotter than our HOT Habanero Sauce. But even here, a very clever fruity relief follows the initial chilli hit.
It doesn’t have to be hot. Alastair Angus of Thurston Butchers recommends our Bloody Mary Ketchup.
He says: “It’s got vodka and Bloody Mary spices in it. That combined with ketchup is amazing.” Try air frying these chips to serve alongside your BBQ’d meat selection.
If you’re cooking burgers, our ever-popular Burger Relish may be your tasty go to.
Now that’s a burger. And that’s a Burger Relish. It’s a rich, slightly sweet tasting red pepper, tomato and onion salsa with a subtle note of chilli.
“Sausages, burgers and chicken will always be the “bread and butter of the barbecue,” says Alistair. “We rarely have an order that doesn’t include them. But we’ve noticed whereas it was all burgers and sausages 10 years ago and it was hard to get people to buy kebabs, they are shopping differently now. They are trying new things.”

Skewers make a fabulous addition to a BBQ.
Thread meat; thread vegetables; thread a combo; marinate; grill; baste; share and enjoy.
Strip the cooked goodies off the skewer and share amongst friends for a delicious variety of succulent meat and veg served on a flatbread or in a pitta.
How good is that?
