A barbecue for all seasons
Spring
With that bit of extra warmth and light in the evenings, spring is always a popular time to get outside and barbecue. A springtime barbecue is an excellent opportunity to welcome all the regional ingredients fresh from the fields. Asparagus, strawberries, rhubarb and spring greens are waiting to enrich your barbecue buffet. In the spring, lamb is a popular meat specialty, which is a culinary delight from the barbecue. What’s more, certain species of fish only become available in the British waters in springtime; as detailed in this chart, scallops, monkfish, salmon and mackerel all usually make their first appearance at this time of the year. Make the most out of this exciting barbecue season and reimagine your spring grill menu according to what’s in season locally.
Take a look at our menu suggestions for inspiration when creating spring moments:
- Easter brunch: Celebrate Easter with a delicious barbecue brunch. While the younger ones hunt for eggs, enjoy smoked pepper salmon with avocado and dill salsa. And for any vegetarians, how about an asparagus, tomato and feta frittata?
- Daylight saving time: Celebrate the clocks going forward and gaining an extra hour of sunlight with a tantalising and earthy recipe like our lamb with Dijon mustard and hasselback potatoes with a side of grilled asparagus.
Summer
Summers are meant to be savoured and open up a whole new variety of recipe ideas. Our summer barbecues usually consist of plenty of colourful summer salads featuring special ingredients straight from the field. With steaks from the butcher and freshly caught fish, your barbecue will be a culinary feast.
Take a look at these inspiring recipes for an unforgettable summer barbecue:
- Summer of sport: Set up your own outdoor viewing area for the Cricket World Cup or Wimbledon. Prepare the perfect snacks for nibbling on like barbecued corn on the cob or stacked baby back ribs.

To accompany, cook a fresh piece of seabass and Glazed Grilled Prawns. For dessert try our chargrilled peaches with orange syrup, meringues and whipped cream.
