🔥 BUTCHER'S BBQ TIPS 🔥

With BBQ season in full swing, here are 3 simple tips from the butchers to help you get the most from your grill this summer:

🌡️ Use Heat Zones
Create a hot side for searing and a cooler side for gentler cooking. This gives you much more control and helps prevent burnt outsides with undercooked centres.

🥩 Let Your Meat Rest
Once cooked, leave your steaks, burgers and larger cuts to rest for a few minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, giving you a more tender and flavourful result.

⏰ Don't Rush It
One of the biggest BBQ mistakes is constantly turning or moving the meat. Give it time to develop a proper crust and cook through naturally.

Need supplies for your next BBQ? Pop into Smiths Butchers and we'll help you choose the perfect cuts for the grill.

🔥 BBQ FOR DAD 🔥

Father’s Day doesn’t need to be complicated.

Good food, family round the table, the BBQ going in the garden, and a relaxed afternoon together is often all that’s needed ☀️🍔🥩

A few steaks. Proper sausages. Burgers for everyone. Cold drinks, easy food, and letting Dad actually enjoy the day instead of spending hours in the kitchen.

That’s what summer weekends are about.

Whether you’re planning a full BBQ feast or just a simple family meal outdoors, we’ve got plenty in the counter this coming week ready for Father’s Day.

🥩 STEAK FOR FATHER’S DAY 🥩

If you’re planning a Father’s Day meal, you can’t go far wrong with a proper steak.

Whether it’s a quiet steak night at home or part of a full BBQ spread, a good cut of beef always feels like a treat.

Some of our favourites for Father’s Day:

🔥 Ribeye – rich, juicy, and full of flavour
🔥 Sirloin – a great all-round steak with a good balance of tenderness and flavour
🔥 Fillet – lean, tender, and ideal if you want something extra special
🔥 T-Bone / Sharing Steaks – perfect for putting in the middle of the table and sharing together

Cooking advice? Keep it simple:
✔️ Bring steaks to room temperature before cooking
✔️ Season well with salt
✔️ Cook over high heat
✔️ Rest properly before serving

As a rough guide:
🥩 8–10oz works well per person
🥩 Larger sharing steaks are ideal for 2–3 people alongside sides and salads

Good steak doesn’t need much — just quality meat cooked properly.

No fuss. Just quality food and good company.

Whether you’re planning a family BBQ, cooking Dad his favourite steak, or putting together a weekend feast, we’ve got plenty in the counter ready for the occasion.

☀️ SUNDAYS, SUMMER STYLE ☀️

There’s something different about Sundays in summer.

The pace slows down, the evenings last longer, and sometimes the traditional roast gives way to the BBQ instead 🔥🥩

Burgers in the garden. Sausages on the grill. A few cold drinks, family round the table, and good food bringing everyone together just the same.

Because whether it’s a roast dinner in winter or a BBQ in June, that’s what good food has always been about.

At Smiths Butchers, we’re here for both 👨‍🍳

Wishing everyone a relaxed Sunday and a great start to the summer season.

☀️ HELLO JUNE ☀️

June is when cooking moves outdoors for good 🔥

The evenings get longer, the BBQ gets used more than the oven, and good food becomes simpler — quality meat, fresh ingredients, and cooking over flame with family and friends.

This is the season of burgers on the grill, sausages sizzling away, marinated kebabs, steaks cooked outside, and easy summer meals that make the most of better weather.

At Smiths Butchers, we’re fully stocked and ready for BBQ season, with plenty of favourites already filling the counter 👨‍🍳🥩

Whether it’s a quick midweek grill-up or a full weekend BBQ spread, we’re here to help make summer eating properly good.

Here’s to a great summer ahead ☀️
