Westcountry Cheddar and Greendale beef make this classic cheeseburger a must-try!

The rich and spicy flavours of the BBQ chicken balance well with the smoky, creamy butternut mash, for a dish that’s full of flavour and summer vibes, and good for the soul.

This tasty quiche recipe is a great one to have up your sleeve for summer buffets, ‘not-sure-how-many-guests’ type meals and even picnics (keep the quiche in the tin if you’re planning to travel with it). Serves 6-8.

This is a serious veggie BBQ showstopper that’s easy to prepare. The perfect side to a bring-and-share BBQ, or even the main event for a light BBQ lunch. The overall concept lends itself to a whole host of different fillings and toppings, but this is the combo I’ve gone for, which works beautifully. A drizzle of mayo and a garnish of fresh coriander to serve really finishes the dish perfectly. I must say the Greendale Sundried Tomato & Smoked Garlic Chutney is to die for and is the star of this dish.

There’s a little bit of work involved with this recipe, though most of the time needed is for marinating the beef (allow at least 6 hours, and preferably 24 hours if you can). Rich in flavour, the end result is well worth the wait!

Serve up these tasty skewers and let guests build their own perfect fish tacos! We’ve used hake here, but you can use any firm, white fish fillets.

Over-the-top cooking (OTT) is an amazing BBQ technique where you smoke and cook the meat above whatever sauce or veg you’re serving it with – this way, you collect all the amazing cooking juices and get that smokey BBQ flavour into everything. Everyone has their own twist on chilli, but I’ve used my own chilli recipe here; it’s rich but super mild, as I have young children who absolutely demolish this dish, but by all means prepare your preferred chilli sauce recipe, cooking it as you would normally, but without adding the meat or simmering (we’ll be doing that part on the BBQ).

This indulgent but simple recipe is a great one for special occasions – it does use a whole wheel of brie, but the delicious end result is definitely worth it!

Sometimes unfairly overlooked in favour of plaice or turbot, we think brill is – well, brill! With a sweet flavour and firm flesh, it’ll cook to perfection in minutes as soon as the BBQ is ready.

This summertime spin on the old staple ‘burger in a bun’ uses Nduja (a spicy, soft and deeply savoury sausage from southern Italy) to add a delicious kick to classic Greendale pork mince. Makes 4 burgers.

This is a great ‘hands-on’ sharing dish for a summer’s evening – it’s a really nice way to cook trout, as the fish takes on subtle smokiness from the charcoal, and the spicy, savoury nduja adds real depth of flavour, too. Serves 2-4.

While British asparagus is still available, there’s no nicer way to enjoy it than grilled quickly over coals and finishing with a quick, simple dressing – the spears turn a beautiful bright green in the heat, and the charcoal imparts smoky flavour and sweetness to each stem. Delicious! Serves 4 as a side dish.
