Once you’ve chosen your meat, a few simple cooking tips can help you get the best from every cut.
Take meat out of the fridge before cooking so it can come closer to room temperature.
Season generously, but avoid overpowering naturally high-quality meat. For steaks, use a hot grill to sear the outside, then rest before serving.
For ribs, chicken thighs or larger cuts, cook more slowly to keep the meat tender and juicy.
Don’t forget to plan your sides, too. Fresh salads, seasonal vegetables, crusty bread, pickles, drinks, and homemade slaws all work beautifully with rich BBQ flavours. Our oils and vinegars are great on top of salads too.

Our Tomato Stall Oak Smoked Tomato Balsamic Vinegar is a rich, smoky balsamic made by soaking oak-smoked tomatoes in Balsamic of Modena for weeks to develop its deep flavour. It’s perfect for adding a bold, savoury twist to summer salads, especially tomato and mozzarella, mixed leaves, grilled vegetables or couscous salads.
Drizzle lightly over salads on its own, or whisk with olive oil, a touch of honey and seasoning for a simple smoky vinaigrette. It also works beautifully with BBQ meats, making it a great finishing touch for summer entertaining.
Whether you’re hosting a big summer party or enjoying a quiet evening outdoors, our high-quality meat selection makes it easy to create a BBQ worth remembering.
From handmade sausages and burgers to premium steaks, ribs and seasonal cuts, our range offers everything you need to fire up the grill with confidence.
This summer, make your barbecue all about proper flavour, carefully sourced meat and the joy of sharing great food.
