White Chili at the Yew Tree Peterstow today!

Have you ever tried white chili? Flavoured with mild green chilis and made without tomatoes, it's rich and satisfying without being too heavy.

Look at that absolute beauty coming off the smoker today. The caramelised crust, or "bark" in bbq parlance, seals in all those lovely juices and gives a nice salty bite.

Brisket from Pengethley Farm Shop

We'll be there! Come on out, it's going to be a smashing time.

Did you know that we only use local Herefordshire meats from Pengethley Farm Shop for all of our barbeque? No cheapo imported cuts here, just some of the best meat we've ever tasted, from happy herds on farms right down the road.

I have been blown away by how much better the meat is here than in the US. You can tell that cow only had one bad day in it's life.

Many thanks to the Yew Tree Peterstow for a smashing Saturday launch! It was amazing to see so many folks come out for the cider trials and barbeque. If you missed it, MJ's will be at the Ross Saturday Market from 12-3 this weekend.

Grinding up real Mexican chillis for Saturday's vegetarian and vegan option at the Yew Tree: jacket potato smothered with American-style veg chilli.
