The Grill and Chill Pack from Pipers Farm
Mmmmmmmmeat!!!!! A rare sight in the Feeding Boys kitchen these days sadly. But just because we’re not barbecuing the days away, doesn’t mean you have to refrain…
The weather is so unpredictable – bucketing it down one minute, scorching hot the next. The BBQ is poised for action but is your freezer?!
Well the lovely folks at Pipers Farm have offered Feeding Boys readers the chance to stock up on meat with one of their Grill and Chill packs worth £34. There are two packs up for grabs, each containing 32 barbecue favourites including:
- Four pork sausages- made with porks, oats, salt, pepper and nothing else!

- Four chicken drumsticks in a homemade tomato and honey marinade
- Four pork steaks in a homemade lime and ginger marinade
- Eight lean lamb kebabs

Best Barbecue experience was last Summer in Lowestoft.Hubby and I took our four children to the air show and we barbecued on the beach whilst overhead a multitude of aircraft were passing and we were even treated to a magical display by the Red Arrows.We stayed on the beach all day and had a fabulous time
My best bbq memory also is the wettest! Going back to my 18th birthday my mum and dad had organised a massive bbq party for my birthday at my request it was planned as being “gardenbury” glasto but in my garden we had everything thought through bunting,a mini stage, sunflowers everywhere lights,candles and a little tent too for good measure we even hired a half drum bbq so we could make sure that everyone could have their meat at the same time. The day came round and it started well we werent basking in sun but it was dry. We fired up the coals, people started arriving and the drink started flowing then the heavens opened! That was it party ruined so you would have thought……But not in this case everyone got into the true spirit of the theme donned their wellies and macs and we carried on the cooking under the protection of a golf umberella. we even ate outside. By the end of the day we were soaked through but we had had a laugh and experience the closest thing to glastonbury you can get in a back garden!

Wow, that all sounds delicious. Actually really good value as well. My best barbecue was on my birthday last year, it was a scorching hot day in June and we had some friends round, I did all the prep including making burgers and buns to go with them, spicy chicken kebabs, sauces etc etc, even Pizza Express style dough balls with garlic butter. And then I put my feet up, let my husband get on with the actual cooking bits (what is it about men and barbecues??) and had a few beers. It was just a lovely chilled out day, and I don’t think any of us felt like eating again for a week afterwards as we were so stuffed.

Best barbecue experience was just recently after moving home from a busy town to a small village with a garden backing onto the open countryside. Finally got to fire up the barbie last weekend and it was wonderful to eat out in our lovely garden and not be disturbed by traffic noise. Bliss!

My best bbq experience was on holiday in France when hubby, having placed the bbq a little too close to the hedge, nearly set it alight!The food was great and I think we had imbibed quite a lot of the local red wine – purely for research, of course. Anyway the whole family thought it was a hoot and Monsieur who owned the gite ( and hedge) was fine about it.
Te last few family BBQ’s we have gone to my husband has ended up cooking and he is defintely improving… bless him

My best bbq was earlier this year late night on the beach with some of my closest friends.
It would have to be a beach bbq when I was a student. Warm night, several barbies, lots and lots of yummy food and brilliant company. Can’t be beat!

My best BBQ is when someone else cooks it as am useless at BBQ cooking, every year I think maybe if I get a better BBQ I would be able to cook on it better but I am lucky to even be able to light the BBQ so the best ones are always by someone who knows what they are doing 🙂

My favourite BBQ is my firend’s birthday BBQ. Every year her hubby organises a ‘surprise’ BBQ for my friend. He hides all he needs at the bottom of the freezer or in the gararge. We all take along a dish of something and a bottle and of course shout ‘surprise’. I guess though the biggest surprise was the year he didn’t do it and we had all bought our food/ bottles in preparation!
Its a really nice annual social event. Kind of like Christmas in summer except its friends not family.
best bbq ever was this christmas just gone
snow and so cold reminded me of canada
at the time daughter was veggie and by the time we cooked veggies and put em on a plate they were cold
reckon it was minus 10 but the whole family was there making snow angels and being funny

MY BEST BARBCUE WAS LAST SUMMER VERY GOOD
My best BBQ memories took place about 4 years ago. We was at a flight archery competition in Yorkshire and it was my daughters 18th Birthday. She and her sister achieved 5 World Records during the day and it was just a fantastic day, we had steaks, burgers, sausages and of course a really special birthday cake. All of the competition entrants sang “Happy Birthday” to her it was just a really special day.

The best bbqs invariably seem to be the impropmtu ones brought about due to waking up to a glorious days sunshine. A few phone calls and texts accompanied by a trip to the shops and local farm shops and before you know it you are enjoying a relaxing day in the sun with great company and delicious food, everyone chips in to help bring it together and before you know it the sun is setting and the quickly assembled party moves inside until the small hours
My best bbq exp was in a locsl village in the Phillipines

I have tweeted. My partner cannot cook at all, would insist on cooklng at my sisters BBQ.
He really excelled. What a great day. Good food nicely cooked and too much wine.
My best BBQ experience has to be about 8 years ago. I was working on a project miles away from home, in Swansea. I was in a hotel with around 7 other colleagues & we decided to visit the Gower beaches with a couple of disposable BBQs & some meat, salad stuff etc courtesy of the local supermarket. The weather was amazing not too hot & with a slight breeze. The beach area was stunning & we even managed to collect some wood for a little fire because we stayed later into the evening. Those who weren’t driving had a few drinks & us drivers had some cans of soft drink. A really amazing evening & best of all no nasty grill to wash up as all our rubbish went into bags & back to the hotel bin! Superb
my best experiance was when i was little, we had been on the beach all day, and there was a massive barbecue it was lovely, i was so hungry, will never forget that best day ever!
My best BBQ experience was at the Reading Festival two years ago. It was my first ever camping experience, and my well travelled friend did a BBQ for us all which involved homemade (actually tent made) burgers, steak, and spare ribs. The teenagers camping round us were so jealous as they dug into their cold baked beans and packets of crisps 😀

My best BBQ experience was when my sister and her husband came round.Whilst they were waiting for the BBQ food to be ready they decided to play some games.The idea was to run down the garden spin as fast at you could around a broom with it in the air twirling above your head and then run back up the garden.Only my sister’s husband didn’t quite make it past the holly bush and ended up laying flat in it.Everyone was laughing so hard that we finally thought we should help him get back up and out of it.
My best BBq experience was a charity event for a local hospital. It was a hot day, the food was delicious and my best friend Denise got to wave to her Father who was in the isolation block with TB!
My best experience was a bbq on new years day after a long night on the beach in SA, it was amaaazing!!! =D

My best BBQ was when my partner’s family and mine got together in our garden, everyone had a bit too much to drink and my mum’s partner was teaching everyone a Slovak song (I am Slovak) and everyone made good attempt at singing it.
Best BBQ experience was when I was at a sporting event my husband was participating in. It was a full day out and we had brought lots of food with us as well as knowing there would be a barbecue lunch. It was a great day I ate all the food I had brought and (by my husband’s calculation) most of a BBQ chicken … and three weeks later found out I was eight weeks pregnant.

I love barbies but the weather here is so unpredictable that it makes it a gamble. Last year I was lucky and found the best Saturday in terns of weather and had some friends round for some beer and a BBQ there is nothing greater than that, good food, good company and great weather!
I haven’t been to a barbeque for ages but the last one I went to was at my brother’s house and they had veggie sausages on the barbie just for me.
My favourite BBQ was 12 years ago for my aunts 60th birthday. All my extended family were there, it was such fun. Sadly alot of my aunts and uncles are no longer here so we look back on this with fond memories.

best ever has to be the bonfire night one that they did in Berlin every year when growing up as a forces brat. In 1971 we were deemed old enough at sensible enough to go without our parents ( maybe just cos it was too cold for them to come). Caroline and her 2 younger sisters, our good friend and only child Angela and me with my little brother in tow all trotted off together down to the airfield to watch the fireworks, stand around the bonfire and eat barbecue food, and on a freezing cold night instead of a hot sunny day it was delicious, if different

Here’s my best BBQ experience
I thought i would share my experiences of a hog roast I did last year for my sons first birthday.
Earlier this year I expanded my burgeoning cookbook collection with the River Cottage Meat book, the section on open fire cooking sparked something in my imagination, especially the section on the Hog Roast. And being the sort of guy who loves to cook for a crowd and loves a challenge decided to take up Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall’s gauntlet to cook a whole animal, so I said to my wife, “I’ll do a Hog Roast for our sons first birthday”………
So I spent a lot of time researching, especially some fascinating US sites, and decided to go for a simple motorised spit over a firepit.
I managed to find a spit motor on the bay of e rated for 45kg, and when the motor arrived, I decided that it needed to be beefed up, so a friend who was excited with the prospect offered to create a spit, I was very grateful.
The design was nice and simple with 2 uprights and a 6ft spit that would slot into the motor.
The next thing needed was a pig, I approached a local butcher who could obtain one, and the nice people with a small holding over the road, who showed me a lovely free range berkshire who would be a perfect size, so I went for the local option. The pig was around 28kg a perfect size.
The day before the party, the pig turned up, I injected the meat with peach juice, slashed the skin with a stanley knife, and rubbed in salt, pepper and fennel seeds, wrapped the pig in a sheet to keep the flies off, and had an early night.
The next morning I awoke at 5am, and started the fire going with some apple wood i’d cut myself, and some bay branches to give a lovely smokey flavour to the meat. It soon became obvious that the motor wasn’t up to the job, so I came up with a Heath Robinson affair to turn and lock the spit into position.
Everything was going good, I spent the morning keeping the fire going and turning the spit every 20 mins and trying to drive the heat into the thickest part of the pig, the shoulder.
At about 1pm the guests started arriving, and the meat was softening up lovely, and the fat was rendering out, I was using cider to baste the outside of the pig, unfortunately I left a couple of friends in charge as I went away to sort things out and the fat flared up and burnt the shoulders more than I would have liked, but it was a fine line between getting the heat into the meat without burning the skin. I think there was a good 30-40% perfect crackling which I was happy with for a first attempt.
I carved up the meat, and it was served with bread rolls, salad and homemade apple sauce, everyone loved it!
After the day I was heard saying i’m never doing another hog roast again……….
….but what next…..a lamb…a deer…….a cow perhaps!
What is certain i’ll need an even stronger motor and spit setup……
or maybe i’ll just do what everyone else does and have a few bangers on a bbq?
There isn’t one particular bbq experience but I used to love it when I was about 17 or 18 (30+ now) and we used to go round to mates houses and have a bbq and sit outside, the weather would be warm and we would talk for ages!
It has to be when my 8 year old went to a barbecue and actually ate a burger, chicken and hot dog. Up until then she had always told me “I don’t like barbecue food”. It was a eureka moment and I was so happy I could have danced!

my best b-b-q was a big family get together, 20ish of us. my uncle behind his homebuilt b-b-q, in the middle of cooking the grill collasped and all the food went onto the floor. My uncle who isnt allowed to touch d i y, had used plastic wall plugs to hold the grill up so they melted……. but the food was saved on throw away b-b-q’s and my uncle still hasnt lived it down…….
Best ever for me just has to be the many and varied BBQs we enjoyed when visiting an old school friend in Oz a few years ago. They were always so laid back and impromptu with hardly any planning involved and absolutely amazing! The best ever. The one ‘planned’ aspect of any of them was removing red-backs from the BBQ before we fired it up!
Definitely homemade burgers cooked with just a hint of pink.

Best BBQ experience has to be a Halloween/ Bonfire Night street party at our old house. The whole street came together to make a feast with mulled wine kept warm on one bbq! We all picthed in with food, drink, tables, bbqs and patio heaters. The retained firemen put on an amazing fireworks display and everyone was in fancy dress. Went on until 3am!
I decided to host a brunch one Sunday inviting people to arrive at approx. 11.00. AM. I suggested people brought the Sunday papers and we would all have a relaxed time. I wondered how many people would actually turn up, and would the whole idea be a flop. No way everyone took up my invitation and a great time was had by all . I will definitely do this again.
My best BBQ experience was at the International BBQ Goat Cookoff in Brady Texas. Amazing food and loads for everyone to do.
My best BBQ experience was my Dad’s 50th birthday. We had loads of friends around and it was a beautiful sunny day. We put a lot of preparation into it and had tons of food to BBQ plus various salads and nibbles.

My best barbecue experience was a very drunken and happy beach barbecue with Club 18-30 in Corfu in the days when these things were more fun and less seedy. I had been forced to take my big sister with me and she had been really strict but she had too much wine and sun and got sick and had to sit in the shade and at last I was off the lead and free to have some fun. Good times. @essexgirlSE

That’s easy, a fabulously warm summer’s day and a friend was holding a BBQ. Everyone was welcome from near and far you just had to bring your own food and drink. Several families turned up and we ended up being about 100 with people sprawled through the house and garden, then a game of rounders on the village green later in the afternoon. Nothing planned, it all just happened as the best things normally do and the BBQ lasted from lunchtime til supper!
I love bbq,s with my friends and family the smell of the food, the kids playing on the lawn, a nice cold drink all good summer fun 🙂
a short walk to nearby river on a lovely day, just using disposable bbq`s but we`d won some top quality steaks in the club raffle, with lovely bread they were delicious *with some nice wine to knock it back with)

My best bbq experience has to be this year for my Brothers birthday, he really wanted a BBq however we don’t have or can afford a bbq so we decided to put our heads together and we used the old metal bin in the garden the grids from the oven and bought some coals. He was so pleased we’d gone to all that effort, however 2 hours later the heat from the BBQ had got too much for our rusty old bin and it fell through. Most of us were too tipsy to notice, but it was a great day none the less.

My best bbq experience was when I was around 12 and it was such a warm balmy evening, surrounded by family and the smell of burgers and sausages. The kids played in the garden whilst the adults chattered and I will always look back on that, particularly as some of those adults are no longer with us. But it just provided a wonderful memory to lookk back on. Thanks for running!
My best memorable bbq experience was a couple of years ago…on a gorgeous summers evening and the WHOLE family coming round.

Best BBQ evening was in South Africa, a fabulous warm night, a super BBQ experience, fantastic food, fantastic entertainers, truly a night to remember forever
My best BBQ experience was when cooking al fresco during the schools fete. We had set up a huge grill and the burgers and sausages cooked to perfection, just charred enough for taste and were succulent (as they were supplied by a local farm). I saw all my friends there and even ate with them. The weather was nicely warm so I wasn’t sweltering by the coals. The kids had loads of friends to play with on the field. And to top it all, it was a short walk home (next door) and lots of people came home with us later.

My best ever barbecue experience was when I was about 15 years old – it was with my family – the meat was half cooked and charred (as it usually is), the coals took forever to light, but I remember it fondly because we toasted marshmallows on the dying embers and put potatoes in foil and cooked them in the coals, and there was laughter and happiness in the air.

My best BBQ exsprience was Christmas day 2010 haveing a BBQ with my husband to be, my inlaws and my 11 month old son, sat around a pool in Florida…. BBQ food tastes even better in the sun shine…
Best BBQ experience was our Garden Party will Prince William & Kate this year, we had food from the BBQ all the long weekend, from the Friday to the Sunday
When we threw a BBQ for a forum we help run, thinking just a few would turn up and over 100 did ! All brought food and drink and it was the most wonderful day meeting people we had spoken to for years and considered friends even though we had not at the time met many at all, Loads are now regular visitors and we do the RFUK BBQ every year now !!!!
The best BBQ was one we had in Feb 2007. We felt we had it to brighten up our day and put the feeling of ‘Spring’ in the air. Best of up my best friend whom I could not get hold off suddenly felt she had to visit us and turn up as we were getting the fire started. it made my day!

Best ever BBQ for me was the night I decided to bring my boyfriend unannounced to the BBQ to meet my folks, we let ourselves in and went into the garden where my parents were BOTH sitting in their underwear, i don’t know who was the most embarrassed.
After the initial awkwardness everything was great though, they ended up loving my boyfriend, and still do!

When my brother was a wee boy we had a BBQ on the beach for his birthday. BBQs were much simpler then! My auntie had a fold out picnic table with all the cutlery and plates in it. We sheltered neath orange stripey wind cheaters and dug our dads into the sand. I always remember the taste of burnt sausages and birthday cake! My brother is 45 this month, so I guess it was 40 years ago. I have 4 brothers and my auntie had 3 sons, so I was always the only girl. Guess what-my dad was a fireman too!
Hi – our best ever bbq was a really simple one whilst camping on holiday in the isle of wight – simple but perfect weather and lovely campsite.

After a very stressful year for the family, with lots of problems and generally being so busy it was rare that we were all at home at any one time (exam season, house move etc.), I came home one day laden with the monthly shop and not in the best of moods, to find my son had organised an impromptu barbecue for the family. He was busy cooking away and the whole family was there enjoying themselves and relaxed and happy for once – it was an oasis in an otherwise awful year. I relaxed and enjoyed myself for the first time in months. @WISHGIRL123
