🔥 NEW IN STORE 🔥

You asked… and we listened! 👏

We’ve just taken delivery of THREE fantastic new BBQ rubs from the BBQ flavour experts at Angus & Oink, and they are guaranteed to take your summer cooking to the next level.

🥩 Dirty Cow
The ultimate partner for beef brisket, steaks and ribs. Packed with cracked black pepper, savoury aged beef notes and everything you need to create that incredible dark BBQ bark.

🍗 Feather Duster
A customer favourite! Sweet, smoky and with just the right amount of heat. Perfect on chicken, wings, drumsticks and pork ribs.

🌯 Shawarma Lebanese Kebab
Inspired by the flavours of the Middle East. A beautifully aromatic blend that’s fantastic on chicken and lamb, but equally delicious on roasted vegetables.

Why not pick up a pot this weekend and try something new on the BBQ? Pair them with our award-winning meats and you’ll have all the ingredients for an unforgettable feast.
