Classic BBQ dishes associated with the deep South of the USA, using produce from Gods own county right here in Yorkshire
Beautiful free range chicken wings, rubbed and cooked over a high heat. Served dry or tossed in a Buffalo style spicy sauce.
Delicate fish/shrimp cooked hot and fast, then packed into a taco with cucumber, tomato and a fresh lime mayo dressing.
UK beef is grass fed rather than grain. This makes it much leaner than the USA equivalent allowing us to cook it at a higher temperature. Super juicy slices with all that beefy flavour and a smoke ring to show off.
Boneless turkey breast - Wet brined overnight, then rubbed and smoked low and slow to create succulent slices with a sweet little hit of smoke.
Them there big American sausages but better. Better because they're made like a UK sausage by our butcher, so you know they've got meat in 'em. Smoked low 'n' slow over whisky barrel oak.
Little piggy.... little piggy.... let me EAT YOU. The Americans do it 3, 2, 1 (we'll explain). We halve that, glaze with a sweet BBQ sauce at the end and BOOM! Still with a little bite to them, these guys are special.
Slightly sweet, cornmeal based, fluffy bread to soak up all those juices.
Beans. We won't say anymore because it'll spoil the surprise, but these bad boys are a meal in themselves!
So simple. Padrons cooked over charcoal until slightly blackened. That's it.
All served with some pickles and a chipotle BBQ sauce on the side.
Build on those essential skills, play with some more toys and up your BBQ game

A beautifully deep flavoured Rogan Josh curry cooked over fire served with easy to make naan breads.
If you've ever thought what food would be all red on the traffic light packaging system - this is it! Pork belly, butter, sugar and a long smoke. Melt in your mouth greatness.
