How To Prepare for a BBQ to Remember

Now BBQ season is upon us, it’s time to start making sure you have everything prepared in order to have a BBQ to remember, as summer BBQs in the garden often provide the best memories for both you and your family. We have created the ultimate BBQ checklist to make sure you’re ready to host as soon as the sun starts to shine! Check out our top tips down below.

BBQ Shopping List

Need a fool-proof shopping list for your next BBQ? We have you covered. Here are some of our must-haves for your next garden soiree:

Delicious!

Have a Theme for your BBQ!

Have a Theme for your BBQ!

One way to throw a good BBQ is to set a theme! We don’t mean all out fancy dress (although if that’s your thing, definitely go for it), instead we think you should choose a specific cuisine to cook up on the grill. This is an especially good idea for those of you who aren’t going abroad this year, as it still allows you to sample and celebrate a new country or culture's cuisine.

Why not bring the US to your back garden with our Mississippi rubbed chicken thighs and BBQ sausages in a bun? Or you could even bring Turkish flavours to the UK with our tasty BBQ lamb shawarma koftas and spiced chicken recipe. Mangal, the traditional Turkish cooking style, is known for its tasty aromatic dishes like chicken shish kebabs and veggie options, too! So stock up on the skewers and get ready for a BBQ season to remember.

Don’t Forget The BBQ Side Dishes

Don’t Forget The BBQ Side Dishes

Now you’ve got all your burgers, sausages, kebabs and mains sorted, it’s important not to forget about the sides. Sides can really make or break a meal, especially when it comes to having a BBQ. It's important to make sure you have all of the BBQ side essentials, like salads, beans, chips and rice. Why not try making our super delicious BBQ chicken and black bean loaded wedges while you’re at it? This is the ultimate side that people will definitely be asking you for the recipe.

Alongside your sides, you need to have a good selection of deserts, too, especially if you have a lot of hungry stomachs to feed! Our chilled chocolate cheesecake is rich, creamy and guaranteed to impress your guests who have a little bit more of a sweet tooth!
