BUSINESS UPDATE!!

Hello my lovelies! It’s a bit late to be saying happy new year isn’t it 😆 I hope you’ve all had a lovely winter!!

I gotta say, a little bit of light in the evenings now is a real teaser - we are due fools spring soon, my absolute FAVE week of the year and I’m hoping this means I get my BBQ mojo back 🔥

For 2025 I have decided to rein the events in and slow down a bit, and this is for a combination of reasons.

First of all, costs have got so much higher over the last 18-24 months, and people have less money to spend. We have always tried to make sure that you have maximum bang for your buck and I don’t want to put prices up where I don’t have to, so I will be reliant on economy of scale to make it sure it works for everyone. This means fewer events but bigger events, (hopefully) with more footfall.
Second, I work full time and each event is days of planning - menu planning, food prep, smoking, service, packing away and cleaning. It’s exhausting, and last year sucked the joy out of my hobby. Honestly, a massive part of this is for the love of feeding people and cooking stuff I want to cook, but financially it’s just not worth the massive amount of effort that goes in to it.

So, while you absolutely will see us about this year, it won’t be as often. But when you do see us we will be breaking out the good stuff for you beautiful souls!

Dates for our spring and summer events will be posted in the coming weeks, so keep your eyes peeled!

Much love 🔥 ❤️ 🔥

This weekend you can catch us back at Leviathan Brewing for their Christmas independent traders event 🍺 🍻 🎅

We will have various dishes on throughout the day including some of the following, so come and check out the blackboard or ask what we have on!

Brisket loaded fries - smoked brisket braised in a caramelised onion gravy, served over fries with crumbled Stilton, black pepper mayo, crispy onions and chives

Christmas turkey burger - minced turkey thigh and stuffing patty in a brioche bun with cranberry sauce, black pepper mayo, pink onions, crispy onions and shredded lettuce

Christmas dinner loaded fries - brined and smoked turkey, sliced PIBs, stuffing, sautéed sprouts served over fries with homemade gravy

Cajun turkey club - brined and smoked turkey, bacon, lettuce, tomato and cheese with a spicy Cajun mayo

The Katflap special - whatever we have available stuffed into a large bap. Comes with a bib, cutlery, disclaimer and possible remorse 🤣🤣

Looking forward to seeing you lovely bunch and feeding you some fun things, for us this is the perfect way to finish off what has been, personally, an incredibly challenging year.

See you Saturday 😃

Gentle reminder to check your messages and emails please if you booked onto the Sunday lunch and haven’t yet provided me with your menu choices. . . . .

If I don’t have your menu choices by the end of today, then you either won’t get fed or we go old school and you’ll get what you’re given 🤣

Thanks!!

****Unfortunately, due to IT issues at the dLeviathan Brewingonderful thing known as month end (IYKYK) this evenings pop up at Leviathan is CANCELLED. ****

I’m so very sorry to anyone who was hoping to smash a kebab but I can’t guarantee I will be able to finish my day job on time so I need to call it now to avoid significant food waste. I’m properly gutted, and so very sorry, but it’s one of those things which is out of my control 😔

We will be back for Sunday lunch on 17/11 and we have a few limited spaces left for bookings so please drop me a message if you are interested.

Things wot I did this weekend 🤣

Answered a Facebook post asking for a pit boss for the weekend and ended up at Millington Hall Farm in Altrincham tending a massive BBQ mates reverse flow offset for 3 days and it was absolutely fantastic! I was properly in my element and the customers were so lovely and engaging too, it really made it a great few days.

I’ve helped host 6 sessions on a farm to fork Wild Grill experience, here are a few of the things we cooked:

Soy braise pork belly, curry goat, smoked brined turkey crowns and half crowns. Med rare silverside, pulled pork shank, ribs, wings. Pork belly with crackling. PBEs. Beef shin. Venison skewers, pork skewers and massive pork chops with crackling. Pigeon. Whole goat shoulders. Goat birria, beef birria, lamb birria, scotch eggs, whole lamb and goat legs, butterflied lamb and goat legs, lamb and goat neck, chops, belly, picanha, sirloin steaks, venison loin, tenderloin. Roast pork shoulder and legs joints, pulled pork. Jerk wings, jerk pork.

And a pigs head. Just because I could.

Winning!

(Sorry about the awful footage my camera was smashed 🤦🏻‍♀️ and sorry about the awful voiceover i can’t help it if I’m from Birmingham 🤣)

Can only load one video will add a couple of other bits in the comments

Unfortunately, Silhill Brewery Ltd have had to cancel the events scheduled for this weekend so that also means that the competition for free tickets will no longer be going ahead, please accept my apologies if you had entered.

We will make it up to you by running another comp soon but I’m afraid there may not be quite as much free beer involved!

04/10/2024

Massive thank you to everyone at TheBoat House you cleared us out tonight! We’ll be back with you in 3 weeks and we PROMISE we’ll have more food this time 🤣🤣

Next weekend we are at Silhill Brewery Ltd for their ticketed Oktoberfest events and we have a competition going live tomorrow so watch this space!

The beef has been smoked and is braising away nicely and the pork belly is on the weber summit smoking ahead of tonight’s popup at TheBoat House in Rushall, serving from 6pm

02/10/2024

Join us this Friday from 6pm TheBoat House - this couldn’t be any more local for us and we are really looking forward to it!!

We have some ex-dairy featherblade going in to smoke and braise tomorrow for our birria and with also be whacking a whole pork belly on the smoker too, so we can sling some delicious tacos, quesadillas and birria buns in and around your lovely faces 🤣

*****EDIT

THIS IS ME SHARING LAST YEARS POST/MENU TO SEE IF THERE IS INTEREST

I’ll speak to venues and share a post if we can get a date fixed. As you are quite enthusiastic!*****

We did a thing last year and it was GOOD

But would anyone be interested in this again?

Admittedly we might need to use portion control this time, because out of 37 covers only 2 managed all 3 courses 🤣

**EDIT**

Faye from Grills Grills Grills recently re-shared this post from last year to gauge interest about doing it again at some point. But people have been sharing the original post as if it's happening in a couple of weeks' time, which sadly it isn't 😅

HOWEVER if you are interested (and you should be because it was fu***ng incredible) do get in touch with their page to let Faye know, and we might see Round 2 sooner rather than later if there's enough of you that are keen! Cheers!

----------------------------------------------------------------------

When Tap Room favourites approached us with the idea of doing a proper sit down Sunday lunch we thought it a fantastic idea!

It’s happening on Sunday 24th, 2 sittings of 12-15 people. If you are interested do please email them as on the menu below!

They always bring the best food and banter when on site and Faye and Steve have put a lot of thought and effort into this, so get yourselves booked in and show them love and support.

There will be our usual selection of beer, wines, cider and spirits available, with 10% off drinks if you do book into for lunch!

Cheers 🍻

So I’ve been having a think, for Fixed Wheel Brewery next week 14th September, in addition to the main menu we have available, would anyone be interested in a limited availability BBQ platter

Smoked beef rib
Texas hot link
Pulled pork
Fries
Mac n cheese
Mixed pickles
Sauce pots
Crusty bread

This would be a large platter, suitable for sharing, probably priced around £23 but I need to gauge interest before I order the stuff!
