UK BBQ Week

Born from the passion of a group of BBQ enthusiasts, UK BBQ Week was launched in 2017 to inspire people of all ages and backgrounds to embrace the joy of outdoor cooking—every day of the year.
The mission is simple: to show just how easy, fun, and rewarding barbecuing can be, whether you're flipping burgers in the backyard or slow-cooking ribs in the rain.
Now in its 8th year, UK BBQ Week continues to grow stronger. With nearly 3,000 Facebook followers, 3,300 on Twitter, and over 6,500 Instagram followers, the community is thriving.
The hashtag #UKBBQWeek has been used over 7,000 times—a testament to the vibrant community of grill lovers who join in each year.
Throughout the week, the organisers will be sharing delicious recipes, pro tips, and inspiring stories from some of the UK’s top pitmasters, chefs, and backyard grillers. Whether you’re a seasoned BBQ veteran or firing up the grill for the first time, there’s something for everyone.
So, grab your tongs, light up the coals, and be a part of the best UK BBQ Week yet!
Their website is packed with helpful resources—from video tutorials and downloadable recipe cards, to expert gear reviews and recipes from bestselling authors.
Volunteer-Led. Community-Focused.
UK BBQ Week is a volunteer-run, not-for-profit initiative. With the generous support of retailers, manufacturers, chefs, culinary authors, competition teams, media, and passionate BBQ fans, we're working to bring BBQ to more people, all year round.
