Bank holiday savoury v sweet!
Bank holidays are the perfect time to indulge in your foodie
side, whether that’s at home or out and about Manchester’s thriving food scene!
This August bank holiday we’re combining the best of both
worlds with the sweetness of baking and savouriness of a good grilled BBQ! Read
on for our delicious BBQ savoury selections and two sweet recipes featuring
in-season berries.
Savoury
Savoury comes before the sweet! For a weekend family BBQ,
look no further than our Barbecue 6 Pack Selection. This barbecue bundle contains a whopping six beef
burgers, six pork sausages, six lamb & mint kebabs and six BBQ chicken
wings. The meat comes expertly prepared by Little Pigs family butcher in
Didsbury who source fresh from their local network of farms, which means your
appointed bank hol chef can expect only the best quality cuts to hit the grill!
If you’re after spicy flavours, try out our spicy chilli
beef burgers for a delicious kick. Fish is often overlooked at BBQs, but it transforms
an average BBQ to a showstopper! A smoky grill and fish are a fantastic pairing
- try sashimi grade tuna loin, royal star king prawn tails or mixed fish kebabs.

banger by reading our top tips for preparing for the perfect BBQ.
