As soon as the blue skies appear, hosting a proper gathering in the garden becomes the top priority. Getting your prep done early means you can actually spend time with your guests instead of standing over the smoke all evening. We have created the ultimate BBQ checklist to ensure you’re ready to host the moment the sun shines! Check out our top tips down below.
Need a foolproof shopping list for your next BBQ? We have you covered. Here are some of our must-haves for your next garden soiree:
This is just a starting point. Feel free to change it depending on your dietary requirements and preferences. If that list looks too overwhelming, get inspiration on what you need from one of our HelloFresh BBQ recipes, like this sticky BBQ chicken and sausages. If you want to take all the stress out of your next BBQ, why not try a HelloFresh food box? Our customisable weekly meal plans let you choose the meals you want, delivering pre-portioned ingredients straight to your door with step-by-step instructions. It completely eliminates the supermarket rush.
One way to throw a good BBQ is to set a theme! We don’t mean all-out fancy dress (although if that’s your thing, definitely go for it). Instead, we think you should choose a specific cuisine to cook up on the grill. This is an especially good idea if you're enjoying a staycation this year, as it still allows you to sample vibrant flavours from around the world.
Why not bring the US to your back garden with our BBQ chicken-loaded wedges? Or you could even bring Greek flavours to Ireland with our tasty Greek-inspired pork kofta gyros recipe. Mangal, the traditional Turkish cooking style, is known for its tasty, aromatic dishes, including chicken shish kebabs and veggie options! So stock up on the skewers and get ready for a BBQ season to remember.
Now you’ve got all your burgers, sausages, kebabs and mains sorted, so it’s important not to forget the sides. Sides can really make or break a meal, especially when it comes to having a BBQ. It's important to make sure you have all of the BBQ side essentials, like salad, beans, chips and rice. Why not try making our super-delicious cheesy chorizo and beef burgers while you’re at it? This is the ultimate side that people will definitely ask you for the recipe.
Alongside your sides, you need to have a good selection of desserts, too, especially if you have a lot of hungry stomachs to feed! Our chocolate caramel lava cake and zillionaire cheesecake recipes are rich, creamy and guaranteed to impress your guests who have a little bit more of a sweet tooth!
